SafeWallet for S60 v1.0 Released!!

Good morning all!

After a long development and intensive testing stages we are excited to announce today the release of the all new SBSH SafeWallet Pro for S60!~

SafeWallet Pro is a secure storage application designed to help you manage all your private information in one secure solution! This can be credit cards information, passwords, online accounts information, web-sites, emergency contacts, bank account details and much more! The application is based on templates/cards structure organized inside wallets, so you can create cards for different information structures and organize those within any folder structure based on your needs. New cards are created based on templates, although you can completely edit existing cards by adding new fields, removing fields and so forth.

Today we are excited to release the first version of SafeWallet Pro for S60 devices! The first version arrives with a S60 version and a PC companion version. The two are designed to synchronize together, so SafeWallet will automatically synchronize your wallets information between your S60 phone and the Windows PC companion each time your device is synced with your PC! Making sure you are always ready to review any of your wallet passwords anytime!

Myself and the beta group have been using SafeWallet Pro for some time now and I'm positive that this is one of those must-have applications that really helps you keep things organized and safely secured in life

A Closer Look at SafeWallet Pro for S60

1. Security!

Security is probably not the most "shiny" feature of SafeWallet, but definitely the one we worked the most during the development and therefore I think it is worth mentioning here. SafeWallet is using 256-bit AES encryption, this is the highest standard used today and also the same standard used by the US government for secured content. After discussions with different encryption experts we reached the understanding that this is the (only real) best standard that should be used for such type of information encryption and therefore this is the one we've been using here too.

The base 256-bit AES encryption is then combined with several additional technologies that are used to make things even more secure, making the final file format highly secure solution for your content!

2. Cards and Templates

With SafeWallet you can create new cards based on your existing templates. SafeWallet is shipped with a set of pre-defined templates that can be used to create new cards. New custom templates that are created on the desktop companion are also synchronized to your S60 version, thus allowing to create new cards from any of your custom templates that you created on your PC version right away!~

Although cards are created based on new templates, the newly created cards are not linked to your templates anymore, so you are able to easily add new fields to any of your cards, edit existing card fields and remove fields from your cards right away! Allowing maximum editing and control capabilities for your wallets this way!

3. Favorites Feature

Each wallet on your S60 SafeWallet includes a favorites folder which allows you to mark any of your cards as favorite card. Favorite cards are then marked with a yellow star and are also presented in the dedicated favorite items folder which can be accessed from anywhere through SafeWallet navigation!

This way allowing you to place cards that are used more commonly together in one folder so that you can locate those cards anytime and easily

4. Syncing

A S60-PC SyncManager component is of course included too. Once installed your SafeWallet for PC and S60 will always remain synchronized and your wallets will be synchronized automatically. The syncing is done on top of the standard S60-Desktop Manager using the special SafeWallet SyncManager add-on for the Desktop Manager.

Please notice that this section can't be activated automatically after the installation of SafeWallet and therefore there are a few small steps that you'll need to complete manually to have this working. We've created a special manual which explains how to complete those steps which is available at the following URL:

* An automatic link to the tutorial is also included with the installer

5. PC Companion: Overview

Along with the S60 version you will also find the Windows PC version of SafeWallet! This is also available as a standalone application for those of you that doesn't use a S60 device and would like to give this a try

The PC version provides a complete wallet management solution and is a very important section of the complete application combo. SafeWallet for PC follows Vista application guidelines and provides lots of management utilities to manage your wallet also on your PC with the best user interface possible!

The SafeWallet display is divided to your wallets management section where you can manage all of your wallets and important information, and templates management section - which is used to manage your templates, edit exiting custom templates and create your own new templates that meet your specific needs. Using the SafeWallet Wallets management section you can manage multiple wallets at the same time!

6. PC Companion: Smart Tools

Like the S60 version, the PC version provides a set of powerful utilities. Among the different utilities included you will find a search utility that you can use to easily locate cards within your wallets with the ability to go through the cards found on the search.

A powerful password generator utility that will help you generate new passwords easily and quickly. The password generator utility also provides an option to generate advanced keys that are based on random user mouse-movement to ensure complete random engine for the generate passwords this way

Import utility allowing users to easily import wallets from a verity of different wallet applications. Making it easier to step forward to the new SafeWallet and taking your information from previous wallet applications with you directly to SafeWallet

SafeWallet stores the last used state of your wallet so each time that it will be launched again SafeWallet will be restored to the exact previous state it was closed.

7. PC Companion: Security Features

Since it is designed to be a secure storage application, SafeWallet also includes a set of security related features designed to help store your information in a more secure way. Among those features you will find:

@ Wallet-Lock feature which locks your currently active wallet each time you minimize SafeWallet. When active, instead of minimizing SafeWallet, it will be placed on your system-tray bar and all current active wallets will be locked. Double clicking the system-tray bar icon will offer to restore SafeWallet and ask for the last used wallet password to open it right away. This option provides you with the security that SafeWallet won't remain minimized and opened and at the same time the fastest way to access your wallet information back again at any time from anywhere!

@ Auto-Lock feature will automatically close SafeWallet after a predefined interval. This option is used to make sure that SafeWallet won't remain active on your PC background while you are working with other applications, this way making sure that all of your wallet content is cleared automatically even if you don't remember to close it specifically.

8. And Much more!

We've been developing the first version of SafeWallet for a long time now and you will find lots of additional new features with it! I won't be able to cover all of the features available with SafeWallet here, but I'm sure that after installing it you will get more and more familiar with all of the great different features the application offers

Final Thoughts and Some Exciting Future Plans!

As with all of our applications, this first version release of SafeWallet is the starting point for lots of additional development that we plan to work on as part of future upcoming updates of the application. Since SafeWallet Pro is our 2nd S60 application and there are a lot of users that are less familiar with our applications here I'll explain that we usually try to release a lot of minor updates between our versions with lots of additional features and all of these updates are available as free updates for all of our registered users, so you will be able to easily download and install any new update on your side and enjoy the new features available with each new version.

In upcoming versions we will add a few smart utilities which will make your wallet handling much easier. The first is the Search Utility which allows you to search through all of your cards swiftly and locate any specific card from within your wallet that you need. The searching will be done using T9 dynamic search, which means you can easily locate any card with a few single key presses of any section of the card name string

In addition to the new SafeWallet Pro release this morning, we will be announcing the release of two additional S60 applications within the upcoming few weeks now - so a lot of exciting news are planned for this upcoming few weeks for our S60 users!

-------------------

This is also a good place to say a really large THANK YOU to all of our beta group members that helped us with the intensive testing of SafeWallet, both for PC and for S60 together. With the help of our beta team members we were able to locate bugs and improve the features of the application to iron it out and shiny it up. Their work with us on the beta group forum was really great and really helped us reach this first new version at such high level of application.

As always, Amit and myself are online here and we would love to hear your thoughts, all your feature requests and future ideas about new things that you would like to see implemented with SafeWallet upcoming updates! We plan to keep the development of future updates active and your suggestions and input will be the best way for us to do this and make this the best possible wallet solution!

We hope you will all enjoy using the new SafeWallet Pro for S60!

Have a great day all!
