SafeWallet v2.2 for iOS released.

SBSH Software announced today the release of version 2.2 of SafeWallet introducing support for the iPad. The new version has thus been re-designed as a universal app, meaning that it automatically supports both the iPhone and the iPad.


Auto-lock timeout lets you define how long you want SafeWallet to remain open in the background when you switch to other apps. This is an improvement since the previous version automatically locked itself up when sent to the background, thus requiring users to re-type the password every time. This proved to be annoying specially doing something simple such as copying/pasting username and passwords.


SafeWallet also includes a Password Generator that will let you create secure password on the fly. I personally know some folks who need such a tool.

Gmail gets updated with Signatures, Scribbles and Nested Labels.


An update for Gmail is now available in the App store and it contains some interesting new features. You now have the ability to create signatures just for the emails you send from a iOS device. This will not affect the one you set up in the web-based version of Gmail. For example, you can use the same signature as the web-based one and customize it further by adding something like "sent from my iPad/iPhone". Google also added a Vacation Responder feature, which is like a Out of Office email that, when enabled, is sent automatically when you're offline.


The third feature is the ability to scribble your thoughts and attach them to an email. You will find a scribble button in Compose mode with the options to change ink colors, brush size, eraser etc. 


The Nested Label feature allows you to create like subcategories of labels. A bit like you do with folders and sub-folders; making them easier to manage.


And finally, there are the usual numerous bug fixes and improvements that Google does not want you to know about. 


The update is free to download through App Store.

Introducing SkyDrive for iPhone and Windows Phone

I thought I'd post about the release of Skydrive for Windows Phone and iOS before going to bed. Skydrive is Microsoft free 25gb online storage. While deeply integrated into Windows Phone 7, there was no one place to manage Skydrive. The app was designed to help you manage your files on the go.

Skydrive for iOS works on the iPhone and iPad but is not optimized for the latter.

Angry Birds Seasons: Wreck the Halls available for iOS.


Christmas is 23 days away and the folks over at Rovio Mobile have released a free update for Angry Birds Seasons. The new episode called Wreck the Halls contains 25 levels "featuring gingerbread cookies, bells, twinkling lights, and candy canes. On the last day you’ll meet the big pig himself".


This free seasons release is an opportunity for the Rovio team to thank their 10 million Facebook fans and also be thankful for the mere 500 million downloads. 


Thanks to Rovio for developing this riveting and funniest game ever. I used to hate games.

Microsoft creates Windows Phone simulator for Android and iOS.

No, this is not just a launcher. In fact, it's not a launcher at all but a real Windows Phone simulator that Microsoft created using HTML so iPhone and Android users can play with and get a taste of Windows Phone 7. They can do that by using a mobile browser and pointing to this address: aka.ms/wpdemo. I ran the simulator on my Nexus One and it runs smoothly. Even the simulator is fun to use.
