The Ilium Software Blog has a brief post up today that offers some news on the progress on getting a Mac version of eWallet out.
eWallet is a superb password manager application for many mobile platforms, including the iPhone. Unfortunately, as of now it does not have a Mac counterpart “ so if you ‘re a Mac user and you want to sync to a desktop, you have to be running Windows on the Mac to do so. Ilium have been working on a Mac client for some time now, and it sounds like we may not have too much longer to wait to see it
I still can ‘t tell you too much about it BUT I will offer a few tidbits. First, it looks every bit as good as the iPhone version of the software does. Second, it has a distinctly ‘Mac ‘ interface – we didn ‘t just port over a copy of desktop eWallet – we know full well that you Mac folks have certain expectations and we ‘re doing what we can to meet those expectations. At the same time, the end result is something you ‘ll still recognize – one look and you ‘ll say ‘Hey! It ‘s eWallet! ‘ Getting it that way was tricky but I think you ‘ll be please.
Of course not as pleased as actually GETTING it I imagine. I ‘m still hoping for a release mid-year, but that ‘s as close as I can get at the moment. We ‘ll keep you updated, though!
Mid-year is not very far off on my calendar “ so I ‘m starting to feel a little excited about this. I ‘ll feel even more excited if eWallet will allow import from 1Password, which I have been using for a while now because of its wireless sync capability with the Mac.
Although I like 1Password and find it a very capable app, it has not fully matched up to eWallet and when eWallet has a Mac client to sync with, I would likely be returning to using an old favorite application “ and even more likely to do so in a hurry if there is an effective import feature.
