Nice review for SplashID

We received an excellent review from a trusted source last week on Treo Central.

"After using SplashID next to all of the competition, SplashID provided the same level of security you would expect for this kind of product, but came out WAY ahead when it came to the flexibility of its interface (both on the desktop and on the Palm), the attention to functionality allowing you to get to your information in the fewest clicks, and finally, it looks fantastic, and not at the expense of its functionality. Use this product during its nice long trial, and you will quickly feel that your information is not just secured, but much easier to get to than with any other method."

And the duplication issue he mentioned - that was fixed in the 4.14 update, so you can cross that Con off the list. As for the price, it is right in line with other serious password managers, so we'd say there are no Cons to purchasing SplashID. :)

SplashMoney review on ZD Net

Matthew Miller seems to like SplashMoney for Windows Mobile, over at ZDNet blog "The Mobile Gadgeteer."

"I have a simple budget spreadsheet I use, but to get spending under control you really need to track your transactions closer than I have been. I am starting to use SplashMoney to track and analyze my spending so I can see where my money is going and try to come up with a better strategy for spending and saving."

Indirect praise for SplashMoney

I came across this post on David Pogue's blog regarding how a Quicken competitor turned down the suggestion to make their product dead simple, user-friendly, and leave out the bells and whistles. Right as I started reading it, I realized this is what customers say to me all the time - they prefer SplashMoney to Quicken because it is easier to use, and they don't need all those extra little features that just make recording transactions confusing.

If you haven't tried SplashMoney, but you like SplashID or SplashShopper, check it out. We have it for Windows, Mac, Palm, and Windows Mobile, with BlackBerry and iPhone on the way.

SplashID 4 for Mac OS released

We are very proud to be finally releasing the SplashID 4 upgrade for Mac OS. Thanks to all those Mac users who were patient and waited for this release - it was well worth it I think. 

Here is a list of enhancements:

• New desktop views - Panel View and Tree View
  
• Tree View on the handheld application
  
• Enhanced security - auto lock-out after 10 failed attempts, password strength meter, and password hint option
  
• Web Auto-Fill - one click to open a website in Safari and login automatically
  
• Synchronize multiple SplashID databases (with other version 4 database files only)
  
• Enhanced Lookup feature instantly displays relevant results as you type
  
• Email securely encrypted SplashID files to other users (from the handheld application too!)
  
• Add additional standalone desktop users
  
• Change the database and auto-backup file locations
  
• Toolbars give you button features where they are needed the most
  
• Updated icon set with enhanced high resolution graphics
  
• Fully Leopard compatible
  
• Universal Binary
  
• Note: Requires 10.4 or later

If you have installed a previous beta, you must export a backup of your data before installing the release:

File > Backup

Then quit and delete these files:

- Delete directory: ~/Documents/SplashID/
- Delete file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.splashdata.splashid.plist

Download the release:

SplashID Download Page

SplashID 4 Desktop will NOT pick up your SplashID 3 Palm database, but you should back up to be safe:

File > Backup

Once you have finished running the installer, launch SplashID from the Applications folder. It will no longer be in a sub-folder.

Since the Palm application WILL upgrade your database on the handheld, you will probably want to set the SplashID conduit to handheld overwrites desktop for the first sync after running it on the handheld.

New SplashData vBulletin forum

We are transitioning to a vBulletin forum solution which we can manage on our own with lots more features than the Yahoo forums.

Please use this in the future for discussion of SplashData products:

iPhone SDK released

As you probably have heard, Apple finally released an SDK for the iPhone this week. We are very excited about this because we have had hundreds of users requesting an iPhone version of SplashID since the day the coveted device was released.

We originally planned to release solely a web-application version of SplashID, as that appeared to be the only option that Apple was offering (other than requiring our users to hack their phones). Now that we have an SDK, however, the future is bright for SplashID, SplashShopper, and SplashMoney.

So although it is a completely separate development project from the SplashID Online project, much of the design work we had done for iPhone and recent development of SplashID 4 for Mac will help us to hit the ground running with the SDK. We'll update the blog and the forums when we have a beta for users to look at.

If you register your email address with us below, we'll email you when SplashID for iPhone is available.

Email me when SplashID for iPhone is available

Thanks again to all of our loyal customers who have patiently waited for their favorite password manager to come to their [new] favorite smartphone
