iPassword by Creative Iye, Only $4.95
"iPassword for Pocket PC is an easy-to-use utility to help you to keep track your passwords, credit cards and other confidential information. Do you have multiple e-mail ids for your personal, business and subscription reasons. Do you have paid subscription to your favorite News website or anything of that sort. Do you write down your Personal Identification Number (PIN) of your ATM or Debit card in a unsecured place in your wallet, just because you can''t remember and hate to confuse yourself when you try to recall them. Then you must be thinking about a Single Place where you can store all these details securely. iPassword helps you to maintain all your personal details securely with an 128 bit encryption for all your information which can not be seen outside iPassword.
Key Features:
� Keep your passwords, credit cards and other confidential information in a central place, easy to retrieve when they are needed.
� 128-bit encryption keeps your information secure.
� Even if your Pocket PC is stolen or lost, no one can read your information without your password."
This is a new product that I haven't heard of before, but two things about it surprise me: first, it's only $4.95. For the digital wallet market, that's ultra-cheap. Second, it has become #1 on the Handango Top 10 list, almost overnight - I didn't see it there a few days ago. Anyone tried this application yet? What do you think of it? I'm still mostly happy with Two Peak's FlexWallet, although there are UI issues that continue to drive me insane... :?

It certainly is cheaper. But for me, I'd need something that the others did not do. eWallet came free with the iPAQ - free is better than $4.95
What I am looking for is a wallet that will do two things:
1. Merge changes to two different copies of a wallet, with proper reconciliation of conflicts. My wife and I both use eWallet - there are quite a few passwords, account numbers that we have in common. At the moment, we have to maintain two different wallets because we add/make changes independently.
2. Store images in encrypted format. While some of these wallets allow you to add scanned images of say your credit cards, drivers licence etc, the images are stored in the clear.
It would be even better if this image were digitally authorised/watermarked in some way. Verisign interested? This would mean that you could dump your wallet entirely - no more credit cards to lug around etc. (Well, maybe one for magswipe, ATMs etc).
At present, I am down to two cards - drivers licence and credit card - so I guess that's pretty good.
I do get into arguments with petty middle managers of places like Chapters book store who sometimes insist on the card as proof, not the membership number. As far as I am aware, only my drivers licence out of all these cards is the actual 'legal document' - and that's because it also has other security features built in.

Perhaps its some sort of bug on handango's part ? It went straight to #1 (nothing in betweek afaik), and is now nowhere on the top 10.

Hmm - you're right. How odd! :worried:

Have you tried using MightySync? I would think with that installed on the desktop, you could put a copy of one of your wallet files anywhere on the desktop that's convenient for both you and your wife, and both could sync to that same file.(???)

You know... the only major thing I'm waiting for in the PPC wallet world is password generation...
Everytime I go to a new website, I have to come up with some lame password... and it would be really cool if I could set some parameters, i.e., password length, digits & alpha & symbols, et. al., and then have the system create a new password for me...
That would be a truely useful and new feature that would make my PPC wallet even more useful!
Until then, I'm not going to give up on Ilium's eWallet!!!!

Why don't you suggest that feature to Ilium?
I might, now that I think of it.

I have my doubts about Handango's method of ranking software. For a long time, FlashFormat was listed on the updated list EVERYDAY and the Submitted date also changed, yet this wasn't a new version of FlashFormat. I start to think that they place software higher on their lists if they are paid more by that company to do so. Just my $0.02.

Personally, I can't stand "Folder Tree" password apps. Ever since I switched to PPC about three years ago, I've been looking for something that doesn't look like Pocket Explorer. The apps that I have found with a decent GUI have been highly unstable. Oh well.
