Announces Mac OS Version of SplashID 3.0 for Palm Powered Handhelds
New version of popular personal identification organizer for PDAs extends
enhanced security and customization features to Mac users
SEATTLE - - March 31, 2004 - - SplashData, Inc., the leading developer
of “virtual wallet” applications for mobile devices, today
launches a major upgrade to the Mac OS version of its best-selling personal
identification organizer, SplashID‘. SplashID 3.0, which securely
maintains personal identification information on a Palm Powered™
handheld and desktop computer, now offers Mac users a host of new features
aimed at simplifying the security of data stored on their PDAs and enabling
users to customize the program to suit their particular preferences.
SplashID has long been among the most popular PDA applications available,
with the Palm OS version currently ranked as the #1 selling Palm OS application
at Handango.com. The software safely and securely stores all kinds of
personal identification information including user names, passwords, credit
card numbers, calling card numbers, bank account data, PINs, medical insurance
information, and more. Information is stored in a secure, encrypted format
and is quickly accessible on a Palm Powered handheld or desktop computer.
SplashID includes both handheld and desktop software (for both Windows
and Macintosh) and the data is automatically synchronized between the
two.
SplashData’s development team focused its efforts on personalization
and simplification with SplashID 3.0. For example, while users have long
enjoyed the ability to select from the program’s library of icons
to graphically represent each record, SplashID now provides support for
custom icons. These icons can be purchased from third-party vendors or
created using applications such as Icon Manager, software that enables
users to create and edit an endless array of icons for use with SplashID
and other popular applications such as DateBk and Agendus. Users can now
assign records to categories for filtering purposes, such as “Personal”
or ”Business,” and pre-select which columns will be displayed
based on the type of records being viewed. In addition, users can create
an unlimited number of templates with pre-defined field labels for different
information types such as “Credit Card Numbers” and “Web
Logins” while customizing field labels on a per-record basis.
Other key new features to SplashID 3.0 include enhanced security. Many
people, especially those in data-sensitive industries, are forced by policy
to regularly change their passwords. These passwords often require a certain
number of letters and numbers and it can be difficult to constantly create
memorable pass-codes. SplashID simplifies this process by auto-generating
codes that meet the user’s specific criteria. Another new security
feature allows users to specify which fields they wish to mask so that
contents (such as a password or credit card number) cannot be easily viewed
by other individuals while SplashID is being used on a handheld or desktop
computer. Further, SplashID will now automatically create an encrypted
back-up of the SplashID desktop database, ensuring that records are secure
should data loss occur on the handheld or desktop.
Pricing and Availability
SplashID 3.0 for Palm OS and Mac OS is available at http://www.splashdata.com
for $29.95. Current users can upgrade for $9.95. SplashID may also be
purchased in a bundle as part of the SplashWallet Suite, which includes
