TUAW Review: eWallet for iPhone

Filed under: iPod Family, Software, iPhone, App Store

I recently wrote a post about Ilium Software, developer of longtime mobile apps eWallet and ListPro, and Apple’s delays in getting their applications into the App Store.

I don’t take any credit (it was pure coincidence), but about 8 hours after my post eWallet showed up in the App Store. I purchased it immediately, since I used the Windows Mobile and Palm OS versions for years and have been hoping for an iPhone version.

In short, eWallet is both attractive and functional. It stores your passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal information securely with 256-bit AES encryption, and it does it with iPhone style. At $9.99, eWallet for iPhone is priced at half of the price of its $19.95 siblings for Palm OS and Windows Mobile.

Read after the break for the rest of my review of Ilium Software’s eWallet for iPhone (link opens iTunes Store), and check the gallery below for screenshots of eWallet in action.

Mod your dock to work with iPhone 3G

Filed under: Accessories, Mods, iPhone

Two intrepid users have found a simple way to mod their old iPhone docks to work with iPhone 3G: a rotary tool.

All it takes, apparently, is grinding away about a millimeter of the plastic where the back of the iPhone 3G rests against the dock. A rotary tool with a tapered grinding bit appears to work the best, as it avoids touching the dock connector.

It might not have exactly the fit and finish of a new dock, but hey, the price is right if you already have the tools.

iPhone 3G docks are $29 at the Apple Store. Dremel grinding bits are about $10 for a five-pack.
