The kind folks at Ilium Software are offering ten free copies of eWallet to ten lucky readers.
eWallet lets you secure your personal information in a single file which can be accessed on your mobile device. Whether its PIN numbers, bank account information, passwords, or credit card numbers, the vast majority of us have an ever-expanding amount of confidential information that we need to keep secure and conveniently accessible on our fingertips. eWallet 6.0 allows you to password-protect your personal information letting mobile device users store information in a safe and secure electronic wallet.
eWallet runs on Windows Mobile, Palm OS, and now iPhone/Touch.

Good idea indeed…. just wondering on the Hacking community, what they are thinking, if I should use it?
Depends on the type of encryption that’s used. Everything is crackable, it just depends on how much effort it takes to crack it.
I’m curious though as to if any of the data is backed up onto a central server.
Seriously though, do you really need an app to remember your PIN or passwords? Just memorize it.
good idea!
Wow a PR stunt. How much were you paid for this post? I don’t see any disclosure either. Yet another hit to TC’s already low low low credibility. It’s as good as your posts where you say “an un-named source said…” – a GREAT way to make shit up!
Or you could try any of the about a dozen alternatives in the iPhone app store.
One of them, the one we wrote, is Memengo Wallet – unlike eWallet it has builtin cloud sync for easier editing and safer storage (the iPhone can get lost, you know).
No need for a guessing game either, it’s $0.99 for iPhone and free for Windows Mobile.
The same thing can be done at mofon.mobi with the personal mobile sites (GOPLAN). They’re also secure and password protected, but there’s no download and they work in any mobile web browser. (click on “Important Info” on the demo screen)
When are they going to come out with an app that lets me know when I have to use the restroom, just in case I forget? If you have PIN numbers and passwords that you cannot remember then I don’t think software is going to help besides the options I have for a forgotten password make more sense. Why would I store ALL of my access information and similar highly confidential information in one place. That creates a TREASURE TROVE for any predatory hacker out there with plenty of time and a lot of caffeine available to sit there and CRACK at it until he gets what he wants. This is not my paranoia speaking but my common sense screaming my friends. Cloud computing is highly OVERRATED but that is my opinion just as all of this post is. Peace.
Good idea
