SplashData, Inc. has introduced two new applications to the Apple App Store for users of iPhone smartphones — each designed to help users remember special occasions.
Holiday presents a list of any upcoming holiday from countries around the world. Users simply select a country and all holidays for that area are presented in a list, along with the number of days left until each holiday occurs and a colorful icon for each to make scanning the list simpler. The lists may be customized by adding or deleting holidays. Seinfeld fans may wish to add Festivus to the list of December holidays.
Birthdays displays all upcoming birthdays in their iPhone’s Contacts, along with pictures of each contact for easy scanning and how many days are left until each birthday. This application is very easy to set-up — simply tap on Birthdays and it automatically scans the contacts for birthdays and pulls them into the Birthdays list. Users may tap on a contact for further details, such as the age they will be, their astrological sign or Chinese Zodiac year, birthstone and full contact info. And Birthdays also serves as a to-do list, enabling users to check-off each item once cards, gifts or greetings have been sent.
Each application is available in the App Store for only US$.99. For more information on the complete line-up of SplashData’s iPhone applications, visit www.splashdata.com/iphone.
SplashData, Inc. today announced a major update to the version of its SplashID secure information manager for iPhone and iPod(r) touch. The new SplashID version 4.5 offers significantly faster loading times, improved search and look-up functions, and a simpler, more elegant user interface.
After the initial launch of the iPhone version of SplashID this past July, the company began receiving a tremendous amount of feedback from a new legion of SplashID users - plus previous customers who have moved on to the iPhone and were thrilled to be able to once again use SplashID for securely storing passwords, user names, account numbers, and airline frequent flyer information. The new version 4.5 of SplashID is a response to requests from these customers and takes the application to a new level.
Enhancements to the new version of SplashID include:
* Up to 2x faster loading times for power users with many records
* Enhanced user interface with simplified navigation
* Improved search and look-up functions
* Landscape view
* Number pad login
* New browser window to make log-in to websites on the iPhone easier
* Updated Mac and PC desktop software
Over the past seven years, SplashID has grown to be the best selling password manager for mobile phones and PDA’s with hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. Its popularity continues to climb as the number of user names, passwords, and account numbers most people have to remember is rapidly multiplying. At the same time, the risk of this kind of sensitive information falling into the wrong hands has never been greater. SplashID helps solve this dilemma by creating an encrypted digital safe for sensitive data, offering the peace of mind of being able to access their critical information whenever needed while keeping it secure.
SplashID for the iPhone can sync with a user’s PC or Mac wirelessly using optional SplashID desktop companion software available from SplashData. The desktop version offers even more powerful features, easier data entry, and the ability to import existing SplashID records from other devices.
SplashID is available for $9.99 from Apple’s App Store on devices running OS 2.0 or higher or at www.apple.com. Windows and Mac OS desktop companion software for each application is available for $19.95 directly from SplashData at www.splashdata.com/iphone.
We all have them: lists. We all need to check ‘em off. We all have iPhones. Mmm, okay, all of us cool people. 
But seriously, if you are an iPhone/iPod Touch user with the need to keep better track of your lists and you’re not apt to just buy away on the App Store to find the best one, then you may want to read our latest review of SplashShopper.
The popular list program that has graced BlackBerrys, Palms, and Windows Mobile devices, as well as desktops, for some time now comes to the Apple made smartphone! If you were a fan of it on those platforms or you’ve never even heard of this application (not sure how that’s possible), then you need — no must — read this review before making your purchase. Heck, even if you’ve bought a list application, still read this. You may ditch it for SplashShopper.
If you’ll be one of the millions upgrading to the 3G iPhone or sticking around with the original Super Smartphone Friday, we’ve got good news for both of yous. Well known, respected, and top sellers in their categories, SplashData will release SplashShopper, SplashID, and SplashMoney on July 11th at the Apple App Store.
Frustrated shoppers will finally be able to shop without having to wait in grocery store isles while their web application slowly updates their list. With the power found in Palm, Windows Mobile, and BlackBerry versions, but the ease and look-and-feel of the iPhone, relief will come to millions of those hitting the stores this weekend. Phew! SplashShopper (screenshot pictured) will help keep your various list, to do’s, and other custom lists in check. Add the ability to share your list with friends and family as well as being able to sync your lists wirelessly (yah!), SplashShopper’s six years of mobile app’in experience will trump anything else released Friday.
SplashID (view screenshot) is another new App Store arrival from SplashData that will do more than just store passwords. Keeping your information protected with sweet encryption, SplashID has been protecting users web logins, passcodes, account numbers, and such since 2001 on Nokia S60, Palm, Windows Mobile, and BlackBerry. Now add the iPhone to that list come end of the business week.
Rounding out things with a splash will be SplashMoney (see screenshot). Where Intuit has ignored Mac users for years with quality software and even more the mobile market, you can have something better for your iPhone Friday. Like SplashID and SplashShopper, SplashMoney will wirelessly sync with your desktop via the SplashSync tool keeping your personal financial data current. You’ll have complete tabs on your bank accounts and credit card charges where ever you and your iPhone will be. No Internet connection needed!
SvenOnTech has loved SplashData products from the beginning (we used its Palm and Windows Mobile stuff) and are looking forward to reviewing its iPhone offerings. But you can trust our pre-recommendation when tell you SplashData is all good.
With SplashMoney, Mac users now have access to a complete personal financial manager that enables them to securely record transactions, track account balances, generate reports and budgets, and manage finances while on the go. SplashMoney features wireless access to online bank accounts – an ideal feature for laptops and smartphones, a streamlined user interface, charting of financial data, the ability to assign icons to transactions, transaction filtering, and bank account reconciliation.
SplashMoney supports most account types, including checking, savings, credit card, cash, asset, liability, and money market accounts.
Mac users of SplashID have been anxiously waiting for the release of SplashID 4, which includes substantial updates such as Web Auto-Fill, a feature that simplifies entering user names and passwords by using a web browser to go directly to a site and then retrieving the username and password directly from SplashID to auto-fill in the record. Other key features in SplashID 4 include improved ways to view and find information, such as the new Panel and Tree views, and an Auto Search feature that retrieves records simply by entering a few letters in the Find box.
Advanced users of SplashID 4 can use the new Database Sync feature to select multiple databases to synchronize with on the Mac desktop and easily share data with other users, even across a network.
The security of personal financial data on mobile devices is of chief concern to many, and SplashData has incorporated secure password protection in both SplashMoney and SplashID using 256-bit Blowfish encryption to protect against malicious hacking or other threats.
The SplashMoney and SplashID versions that include both handheld and desktop applications are available now for $29.95 each at www.splashdata.com. They are also available as part of the SplashWallet Suite, which includes SplashID, SplashPhoto, SplashShopper, and SplashMoney, at a 50% discount. The desktop-only versions of SplashMoney and SplashID, available for both Windows and Mac, are available for $19.95. Full functioning 30-day trial versions are also available for download.
While SplashData has long been known for organizing important records - such as passwords, photos, checking account transactions, and shopping lists - with its popular SplashWallet suite for mobile devices, the company has now set its sights much higher.your thoughts. With its new SplashNotes, announced today, SplashData offers a software tool aimed at helping people outline and organize everything from work projects, meeting agendas and speeches to class notes and event plans.
SplashNotes is a powerful note taker, list manager, outliner and information organizer for Palm handhelds and smartphones, including Treo, Zire and Tungsten models. It comes with companion Windows software that enables users to enter their notes on a desktop computer and then synchronize the notes with a Palm handheld to take with them wherever they go.
“There are so many practical uses for SplashNotes, both personal and professional,” said Morgan Slain, SplashData’s CEO. “Businesspeople can use it for meetings, projects, and collaboration among teams. Teachers can use it for lesson planning, and students can use it to take notes. Pastors can use it to prepare sermons. Little League coaches can use it to plan for practice and record the progress of their players.”
“SplashNotes is already one of my must-have applications on both my laptop and Treo,” said Mark Nemens, a San Jose-based real estate developer. “I use it for taking notes in meetings, tracking prospective deals, helping manage my properties, and on and on. Its usability really is only limited by your imagination.” Read the rest of this entry »
SplashData has brought Christmas to Windows Mobile users a bit early this year. With the release of SplashShopper, the ultimate list manager, for the Pocket PC and Smartphone, Windows Mobile users will now get to enjoy the same powerful list utility that PalmOS users have been for years.
When this gadget user had his Palm, I was thrilled with SplashShopper and couldn’t go to the grocery store without it. It organized my list by the aisle of the store and, if I were so frugal, would help me note the price of each item, too. Having kids makes the need to have more hands than two, so if you are forced to use both for your shopping list, you can insure a difficult time at the store. Thankfully, SplashShopper allows you to get through your list single-handedly. Literally. 
You can imagine how dismayed I was when I went back to the Windows platform that I would have to leave SplashShopper behind. But no more!
“We are delighted to respond to the thousands of customers who have requested a Windows Mobile version of SplashShopper,” said Morgan Slain, CEO of SplashData. “And now Windows Mobile users have access to the leading mobile productivity suite, SplashWallet. SplashWallet is the best value in mobile software, giving you the ability to manage all of your passwords, photos and lists for one low price.”
Download the trial version of SplashShopper and SplashWallet (while you’re at it) today and enjoy the refreshing dip!
I know, I know, I know, it ain’t even Thanksgiving yet and I’m already telling about cool software for Christmas. Well guess what? This will also work for your Turkey Day shopping list, too. Ya, it’s that good!
Long time readers will know that I’m a fan of SplashData products and one of my absolute favorite list program anywhere is SplashShopper. In its current form, it only plays on Palm OS devices in the PDA realm (but my inside source tells SvenOnTech a Windows Mobile version is on the way!) It also will sync with both the Apple Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows desktop versions.
SplashShopper will allow you to, “Manage your lists of groceries, gifts, to do’s, wines, music, movies, and more! Track prices and locations.” What better way to shop for your loved ones this Christmas? With its powerful organization, easy to read screen, and swift synchronization with your desktop computer, how will you not be a head of the crowd this season? With over a dozen five star reviews from users at Handango and PalmGear (yes, we chuckled at the lack of lesser star reviews ourselves), you can guess that this really is a great list keeper for your Palm. Again, we love it and we know you will, too.
Merry Christmas, er, Happy Thanksgiving.
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.
