![]() You can tab between windows and UI elements better now to avoid that annoying mouse click. You can now vertically resize the Edit Dialog so you can get more out of that notes field. If your Notes are longer than the provided space in the Detail Pane, you will have a scroll bar so you can view the full notes without having to open the Edit dialog. These help you get to your most popular records faster. In the lower left of the Detail View, you will find 3 Smart Types containing the latest 10: Most Viewed, Recently Modified, and Recently Viewed. You will also notice we updated some of the old rickety icons. Just click Add Icons in the Icon Picker, so your record and type icons can be whatever you like. A new field has been added to the database so you can add a file (up to 1mb) to the record for association and safe keeping. Copies the application and database files to /SplashID folder. Now you can take SplashID on a thumb drive (or whatever) anywhere you go. To install the plugin, go to File > Plugin for Safari/Internet Explorer > Install. Sorry, but Firefox and other browsers will not be supported at this time. ![]() This replicates the web autofill functionality from the SplashID desktop, but as an installed plugin for Internet Explorer (Windows) and Safari (Mac). SplashID in your browser! A search box and Web Login picker is added to Safari/Internet Explorer if you install it. This default option is found in the Options dialog. Don’t feel bad if you like short passwords. Added to the Set Password dialog and the Password Generator. Password hints can be a little too easy sometimes, so first you’ll have to answer one of the security questions of your choosing before the hint is revealed. This US government approved encryption standard has been added on top of the already powerful Blowfish algorithm. More information can be found on the site. That, to my mind, makes it worth considering. Then again, for a just under $30 you now have the ability to input information on your computer and securely take it with you when you’re out and about. In order to have the ability to sync with your computer you need to not only purchase the application for $9.95 but the desktop version, as well at a cost of $19.95. Add to that the fact that both the iPhone and the idesktop applications recently underwent significant updates and the result, at least for me, is an application that is easier to use than before and, with the inclusion of the desktop application, easier than ever. Splash ID, on the other hand, offers a desktop application that not only syncs but syncs well. They do have a beta of a web-based solution but it is still in closed Beta. Yes, it does sync with PCs but this still isn’t an option for those of us who use Macs. I waited a year for eWallet to offer a solution that allows me to sync with my Mac and I’m still waiting. Second, there is a key feature that SplashID has that its competitor doesn’t. That noted, why is it that I’m thinking of moving to SplashID? Two main reasons - First, the application is now up to version 5 and is vastly improved. That ultimately determined the choice for me. While the bread and butter of programs like this is securing and accessing data, the interface makes a huge difference in the ease and “enjoyment” of doing so. The bottom line for me was that it just felt more polished and “Mac like” to me. In my initial evaluation of the applications I ultimately determined that, at least for me, eWallet was my application of choice. As I wrote in my initial post - With so much in common “Sounds like a toss-up right? Not so fast.” The two applications are SplashData’s SplashID and ilium Software’s eWallet. And both have been revised a number of times since their initial release. Both offer the flexibility to organize and protect a wide-range of information. Both protect your data with a high level of encryption. Both come from reputable, long time, mobile application manufacturers. Both are applications I used on Windows mobile. A while back I took a look at two electronic wallet programs that are available for the iPhone.
