1Password for iPhone announced
We gave you a first sneaky peek at this a couple of weeks ago, but now the full details of the 1Password app for iPhone have been posted online by the team at Agile Web Solutions.This is going to make a lot of the people who added comments to our iPhone apps we crave post very happy.
The app's features include:
- dual PIN and Master Password security, so you can quickly access "less important" stuff via the PIN
- wireless secure sync with one or more Macs
- built-in browser
- and it's free! (The desktop app costs $34.95 for a single license.)

I don't think so that this is good idea...
AFter i was robbed in the subway and lost iPhone (all that was left is headphones in my hands) i've decided to not store any important information on that devices - even mail messages.
When it was happen i occasionally turned off pass lock and robber just take it from my hands before doors closed with playing video and all my contacts, mail and etc.
Only stupid will store credit cards and etc. on iPhone - if you'll lose it - getting this info by any hacker will be very easy.
And - DO NOT USE IPHONE NEAR EXIT DOORS IN SUBWAY. IT's too easy to steal it.
Hopefully they'll let us synch via MobileMe instead of having to use their site.

I used Splashdata on my various Palms for years, but 1P does it better by entering your UID and pwds for you with the click of a key combo. Plus it looks so much better since it's a Mac only app.

That's not true. They have a javascript bookmarklet that works with regular Mobile Safari as well. I use it now and it's amazing.
1password is such a polished, well supported program, that I'm willing to give their browser implementation a shot. I'm betting that it will work out well (I wouldn't normally be this optimistic).
However, in their blog post (regarding the old "bookmarklet") they do say "these bookmarks will be replaced by this new native iPhone/iPod touch application." So they will be removing the bookmarklet feature as soon as the new native application hits the itunes store.
Sure hope Apple rushes this one out to the store. Been dying for this one! 1Password is the best app of it's kind out there.

This is a completely pointless app because it can't access Safari or its settings - and Safari will always be the default browser.
Uggh ... and the wait for Apple to approve begins now :(

Plus, its a bit more portable. I used the client version on a PC connecting to a Treo, then later on a Mac to the same Treo, and now from the Mac to an iPhone. The s/w's sync cleanly and work very well across multiple OS's/devices.
