New TwoPeaks Wallet Application
http://www.twopeaks.com/Main/software/flexwallet/
Our good friend Mel at TwoPeaks Software has just released some new electronic wallet software, FlexWallet, for securely storing any kind of information you want to keep safe from prying eyes.
FlexWallet has some neat features:
� Both Pocket PC and desktop versions, which synchronize seamlessly
� Until January 1, 2003, desktop version included FREE
� Uses 128-bit encryption
� Customizable data templates
� Over 100 icons for easy data classification
� Easy setup and use
Personally, I couldn't IMAGINE carrying a Pocket PC without this type of application. Otherwise, I'd be forced to either remember or write down important data like my 3 kids' social security numbers, my 5 Pocket PC serial numbers, 58 software keys and 78 Web site passwords.
Not too surprisingly, TwoPeaks has again offered to share its new software with Thoughts readers by generously giving away 10 (yes, 10) free copies of FlexWallet (both the Pocket PC and desktop versions)! As usual, we'll hold the random drawing according to our complex whenever-Brad-gets-around-to-it policy (probably in a couple of days). If you want a chance to win, though, you gotta be registered with this site. While you're waiting for me to get organized enough to hold the drawing, though, you can download the separate Pocket PC and desktop versions here.

Two Peaks - quality organization
Looks like a good alternative to e-wallet (and others).
I had a good experience when I bought Perfect Home from Two Peaks and would recommend anyone do business with them. Their customer service seems very good. They were very responsive to my inquiries.
I've asked them if it is compatible with WinCE 3.0 (I'm a J720 user) and will let you know what I find out.
Just my two pennies!
Mike
UPDATE: See what I mean... two minutes later they respond to my question. It will not work (boo-hoo for me).

Funny this comes up.
I was looking for people's opinions on E-wallet apps.
I've used the app that came with the HP 568 (Codewallet, I believe).
Looking for something secure and complete.
Thoughts? :roll:

e-wallet is fine
I used e-wallet with my old 3600 series ipaq. It worked great and the info was easy to get to. I would recommend getting the ppc & desktop version. If you want to get full use of the program, you'll be entering info a LOT. Just make sure you have with the desktop version or are very good at entering lots of info on your PPC.
I don't know anything about code wallet, though.

Missing feature???
I currently use eWallet and I'm very pleased.
I've used CodeWallet in the past and I've found they have VERY similar functionality.
The one feature that they DON'T have is record based synchronization. That is, when I sync eWallet, It's a whole file or NOTHING. This makes it impossible to make changes on the desktop AND the handheld simultaneously. You can choose one file or the other.
The sync mechanism SHOULD be able to scan individual records and identify (CHANGE/ADD/REMOVE) operations. In this way, I can make changes in both places and not have to worry about data loss.
So my question is ...
Does this new wallet application support record based synchronization?

That would require it being a database, right? Unless I'm guessing wrong here, it's not - and, honestly, I don't see this being a big requirement from any of the applications (though I know you want to see it).

Me, I am definitely a visual learner and visually-centered. That's why I like apps like this that allow me to customize forms and even change the icons. It may sound like a small thing, but it makes it much easier for me to see and locate the on-screen info I'm looking for.

I've been using eWallet for the last year & have found this genre of application to be very useful. I use it for storing bank account details, web site usernames/pswds, details on my various domains & other bits of info that would otherwise be lost on a piece of paper in my wallet. I just downloaded the trial version & immediately enjoyed the clean UI & ability to customise categories. In answer to someones query above, it seems to use file-based synchronisation. Only mod it needs in my opinion is capacity to change the template of a card category without having to reenter the cards in that category. Can't recommend it higher than to say I bought it after 5 minutes of playing around with it. Great job.

For those of you who are going to buy it you can use the code "clie" on handango site and it will spare you 2USD. I am going to wait to see if I am one of those 10 lucky winners though 
Best regards,
Peter
