The mobile clients are secure personal information organizers, which let you store and use your important personal information anytime, anywhere. These secure mobile organizers offer advanced level of protection (utilizing multi-level encryption and complex passwords) and easy retrieval of your personal information, such as passwords, IDs, account numbers and PINs. In addition, when used in connection with the PC module of the application, they allow you to login automatically to your various accounts on the Web such as web email, online shopping, bank accounts, and any other resources you access on the Internet."</i><br /><br />There a few features of this application that seem to set it apart from other password/wallet-type programs. First and foremost would probably be the encryption. The Pocket PC client uses 256-bit encryption algorithms in conjunction with up to 5 levels of encryption with different passwords and the option of using different encryption algorithms. In layman's terms, this would be an excellent place to keep the password for my Super Secret Moon Destroying Device. :mrgreen: You can get <a href="http://www.mobipassword.com/mobipass/products.php?buy">just the Pocket PC client</a> directly from the vendor for $14.95, OR you can purchase the <a href="http://www.handango.com/ampp/store/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=311&amp;jid=4C4AX7FX7CXAF5DAXF4BX1B52X47A2X4&amp;platformId=2&amp;productType=2&amp;productId=48072&amp;sectionId=0&amp;catalog=1&amp;topSectionId=-1">desktop client bundled with the mobile client</a> for only $29.95. [Affiliate] There's also a <a href="http://www.mobipassword.com/mobipass/products.php?downloads">21 day trial available</a> if you want to kick the tires a bit before buying. Does anyone actually need this level of encryption? Discuss.

I'm very happy with FlexWallet 2005. More encryption is better, but application design is more important imo. In short, I wouldn't switch to this password program just because of better encryption.

256 bit? if the encryption is based on the password wouldn't yourypassword need to be 50+ characters? My understanding of apps like eWallet is that you have to have 9/10 characters just to get over 40 bit encryption.

I think they don't have a good understanding of how PPCs work: the top application bar is already taken by utility bars such as Gigabar, WisBar and the like or even by OS notifications like time, battery state and connectivity status.

While this application is using it for its own icons, therefore functionality, like search it seems, and display important texts; these will assuredly be covered by such utility bars.

Bad, bad :evil:

Interesting....AFAIC there is no such thing as too much encryption just too many hoops to jump through to authenticate.

Agreed... I CANNOT STAND applications that take over and remove access to the start menu and menu bar. Where are the Pocket PC user interface design guidelines and why aren't people following them?
