eWallet now 50% tastier with sync
Back in July I posted about the release of eWallet for iPhone, a secure information and password manager app from Ilium Software. In that post, I mentioned that Ilium was planning to add syncing and a Mac desktop app to eWallet.They're halfway to their goal and right on schedule. Ilium has announced syncing for eWallet for iPhone / iPod touch, although it's only for Wi-Fi connected Windows PCs at this time. The 6.1.2 release of eWallet uses Ilium's proprietary SyncPro technology, which allows data entry on a PC and backup of the iPhone wallet files to the PC.
Ilium has also added a Sync Setup option that lets you choose full two-way syncing, having the PC overwrite the iPhone, or letting the iPhone overwrite the PC.
If you purchased eWallet for iPhone earlier, this update is free. If not, you'll pay $9.99 (introductory price) in iTunes (click opens iTunes) or the iPhone App Store. You can purchase the Windows version of eWallet with SyncPro for $19.95 from the Ilium website, or just $9.95 if you already own eWallet for Windows.

Why not use 1Password, it is free for iPhone users and already has a great desktop app?

you probably overlooked the notice that it won't be free forever. the appstore page spells it out in black and white.

Still sucks for those of us who purchased the product, spent hours putting everything in it, just to find it all got wiped the first time the phone screwed up in those early days.
It should have had a more impressive backup mechanism to begin with.

(eWallet is for PC users. Mac users use 1password.)
I don't know if the offer is still valid (and it's probably no longer good for new customers), but people who bought the iPhone eWallet, before this new version was released, were able to get the windows client for free. Details are buried in this post:
