Flex wallet vs others - which one?

07-01-06, 08:26 AM

I'm trying to decide if there is any stand outs in the "Wallet" programs. For me, this means something which is fairly simple, easy to set up, and not too bad on memory requirements. One review sounded like flex wallet fit the bill. Wanted to have something to securely store sensitive data on my PPC. I mean stuff like checking, Credit Cards, merchant accounts, and other things I don't want easily seen.

Anyone have a favorite or a suggestion.

Thanks for putting up with all my questions. Hopefully before long I can start answering a few questions and not just asking. :)

I think there are a few worthy products in this area, but my personal fave is eWallet. Have used this for several years. It is very solid, easy to use, has strong encryption, nice enhancements in each new version, and comes from a solid, respected vendor.
HTH ...

Do a search of the forums for your question ... there was a some really good threads a couple months ago that should answer everything you would want to know about why a bunch of us like which ones we do. I'd post again, but honestly you'll want to read these threads.

You can download the Best Products (last year, 2005; 2006 isn't out yet) from Pocket PC magazine for free in PDF format.

I've tried most of them, own eWallet and SplashID, and prefer SplashID myself. Both are excellent products, but SplashID has a better import/export facility and a better native record-level sync process.

I use flexwallet, and they just upgraded it recently. However, all of them are very good and you can't go wrong with any of the products. I bought flex b/c at the time it was on sale very cheap, and it was then purchased by webis, who always provides upgrades and constantly tweaks the products to keep them fresh and leading edge.

I really like ewallet... I've been using t for about a year now and it's been working perfectly.

I've used eWallet for a couple of years to do exactly what you're looking to do . However, about 6 months ago I swapped to FlexWallet from WebIS - its just as capable, but I find the support at WebIS and product updates to be superior.

Download the trials for each, throw a couple of cards in each, and see which works best for you. Check out their forums, and decide which seems to be more dynamic (updates and participation from the developer) and go with the one you prefer. You can't go wrong with either.
