I’ve always been a big fan of SplashData’s products and now RIM users can get SplashID, an electronic wallet, for their Blackberry.
August 10th was the 5th anniversary of the first release of SplashID, so it is fitting that this eNews is focused on our new versions of SplashID.
SplashID has long been the best-selling password manager for smartphones and PDAs. While we got our start with Palm OS, we answered your fervent calls to bring SplashID to Pocket PC, Windows Mobile Smartphone, and Symbian. Now we happily answer the most recent requests to expand our supported platforms with a new version of SplashID for BlackBerry. The addition of this platform makes SplashID the only password manager compatible with all major smartphones and PDAs.
Our other big SplashID news this month is an improved desktop only version of SplashID to respond to requests for a version that can be used by people who don’t have a PDA or smartphone. The desktop only version of SplashID works on both Windows and Mac OS and has a new on-screen getting started guide for new users. You can upgrade anytime to any of our other versions.
