Game play is quick, making Kings Corners the perfect distraction from long lines, waiting rooms, and all the otherwise boring parts of the day that can’t be avoided. But Kings Corners is also highly addictive, and players will soon find out that once they start playing, it’s really tough to stop!

Kings Corners is challenging enough for adults to enjoy, but so easy to play that even kids can learn it fast and have some fun. The idea is simple: try to get through a deck of 52 cards, matching pairs that add up to 10. The goal is to place all 12 face cards on the table in their designated spots. If a face card is dealt and there is no spot open for it on the table, the game is over. It takes strategy and luck to win Kings Corners, and it’s never the same game twice!

Kings Corners is available now on the iTunes App Store for only $0.99 (USD). More information about the game can be found on Ilium Software’s website.

The new release takes full advantage of Ilium Software’s SyncPro^® technology. SyncPro lets you synchronize your individual wallet cards from your Windows PC to an iPhone, iPod touch, Windows Mobile device, Palm OS handheld, BlackBerry device (coming soon), other computers, network servers, removable storage devices, and remote locations via FTP. SyncPro not only allows for entering information on a PC where it’s easier to type, but also provides a way to backup wallet files from the iPhone.

Built-in to the new Windows PC version of eWallet is a very easy-to-use Sync Setup option that lets you first pick your device type, and then indicate the type of synchronization you would like (full two-way synchronization, PC overwrites iPhone, or iPhone overwrites PC). Now users can update their wallets on their PC and their iPhone and know that their changes will be delivered to both locations.

The eWallet for iPhone update is available through iTunes and the on-device App Store for a special introductory price of $9.99 (USD); updates for existing eWallet for iPhone users are free.

More benefits of the upgrade include the option for users to choose between a gradient background or a solid color for their cards. Of course, the ability to add background images is still available, and users can design their own images or download Ilium Software’s free Image Pack. And Windows Mobile Standard (Smartphone) users will be happy to discover that eWallet 6.1 makes it much easier to edit cards on their devices.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.–December 17, 2007 - Web Information Solutions, Inc. and Ilium Software are very pleased to announce eWallet 6.0 - a new release that combines the best features of FlexWallet and eWallet.

eWallet 6.0, available for Windows Mobile and Palm OS, combines the earlier functionality and ease of use of both FlexWallet and eWallet, and adds many new features, including stronger security, with AES FIPS and 256-bit encryption, more remote syncing options, and more security and customization options. In addition, eWallet 6.0, based on FlexWallet for BlackBerry, will be released for Blackberry devices in the first half of 2008, allowing current eWallet and FlexWallet users to have compatible wallets across Windows Mobile, Palm, Blackberry, U3, and Windows desktop platforms.

WebIS and Ilium Software have worked together to create an easy migration path for FlexWallet users. From eWallet’s new Flex View, a display format that emulates the FlexWallet grid style display, to automatic FlexWallet wallet conversion, FlexWallet users will find the transition to eWallet an easy one. All eligible FlexWallet licenses have been converted to eWallet licenses, so that eWallet’s upgrade policies (free upgrades within 90 days of a purchase, discounts for any other upgrades or additional platforms) will apply to current registered users of both FlexWallet and eWallet.

“By combining the efforts of Ilium Software and WebIS together our customers win”, said Alex Kac, CEO of WebIS. “Ilium is focused on the wallet market and this move creates a synergy which over the next year is going to really shine between the two companies.”

“We’re thrilled that WebIS chose to work with us on this,” said Marc Tassin, Senior Product Manager at Ilium Software. “The chance to work with WebIS to bring together two of the top-selling secure information management applications on the market is an amazing opportunity. We’re going to do everything we can to make this a great experience for FlexWallet users.”

This decision allows WebIS to focus on Pocket Informant and other award-winning applications, and allows Ilium Software to more easily add and support eWallet on other platforms in the future. It gives current users of both programs a state-of-the-art way to keep their personal information safe and secure on a variety of devices and operating systems.

eWallet 6.0 will be sold on both the WebIS and Ilium Software websites, as well as by many leading mobile software distributors. eWallet on Blackberry will be supported and maintained by WebIS; on Windows Mobile, Palm, Windows and U3 by Ilium Software.

Complete information about eWallet 6.0 is available at http://www.iliumsoft.com/ewallet.

Current owners and new users alike will find many great new features in eWallet 6.0. The encryption method has been updated to a stronger, government-level 256-bit AES FIPS algorithm, offering better security for important information. Users can also insert and encrypt files into their wallets, making it safe and easy to take data with them to access whenever they need it. And now users can even tell the program to automatically save a backup of their file any time they close or lock it, ensuring that no one will have to be without the info they need. eWallet 6.0 also adds SFTP synchronization, allowing users to securely synchronize their information to remote locations.

Aside from offering top-level security, eWallet 6.0 gives users many new ways to personalize their wallets to fit their style. Users will find two built-in card background graphics included in the program, as well as 10 more free background graphics available for download from Ilium Software’s website. For users who just like to use colors for their cards instead of images, eWallet 6.0 now blends any background color into a gradient on the card, bringing an updated look and feel to the program. The website also offers another free download to customize cards and categories, in the form of a brand-new Icon Pack with over 200 icons inside.

In addition to unique designs for every card, users will now be given a choice on how they would like to view their data. eWallet 6.0 introduces Flex View, which allows users to read their card data in an easy-to-browse list. Of course, eWallet’s well-known card-style view is still available, displaying information as if it were on a real card.

Among eWallet’s other new features are a built-in Import Wizard on the desktop to help users switch easily from other password programs, and greatly improved 1-handed navigation, making it simpler to create, edit and use cards on mobile devices. Windows Mobile Smartphone users will also find that eWallet 6.0 now includes all the same features on their devices as on the Windows Mobile Pocket PC platform, offering them the same experience with the program if they work on multiple devices.

In conjunction with the release of eWallet 6.0, Ilium Software is also announcing a new partnership with Web Information Solutions. The two companies are very pleased to announce that eWallet 6.0 will combine the best features of both FlexWallet and eWallet, and that older version licenses for both titles will be upgradeable to eWallet 6.0. Complete data compatibility across platforms will let current FlexWallet and eWallet users have compatible wallets across Windows Mobile, Palm, U3, and Windows desktop platforms, with a Blackberry version, based on FlexWallet for BlackBerry, to be released for Blackberry devices in the first half of 2008.

“We’re thrilled that WebIS chose to work with us on this,” said Marc Tassin, Senior Product Manager at Ilium Software. “The chance to work with WebIS to bring together two of the top-selling secure information management applications on the market is an amazing opportunity. We’re going to do everything we can to make this a great experience for FlexWallet users.”

The newest version of ListPro adds many exciting features to the top-selling program. ListPro 5.0 includes a variety of formatting options to give more detail to the Notes Pane for any list item. Users can: change the font, the text size, and format their text in bold, underline, or italics; add images and live web or email links right inside their notes; and arrange their notes using bullet points or numbered items. Users with phone-enabled mobile devices can also include live phone number links in their Notes Pane.

Many other new features have been introduced in ListPro 5.0 as well. With one-click list publishing, users can quickly send lists, and all linked images and files, directly to their Windows Mobile device from their desktop. Plus, two new exporting options allow users to share lists easily with friends. With the HTML export option, users can upload lists to any website fast, and with the RSS export option, they can turn any list into a news feed. And for users of Palm OS devices, ListPro 5.0 has added an additional feature not available in earlier versions: users can now include the linked column to their Palm OS lists for live web links, phone numbers, and email addresses.

The features that helped make ListPro an award-winning list manager are still available in ListPro 5.0, including item indenting, highlighting, and outlining, as well as calculated columns, alarm functions, and special features for shopping lists, all built to make ListPro the only program you’ll ever need to help you get and stay organized.

Whether you’re new to ListPro, or are interested in upgrading to version 5.0, all the information can be found on Ilium Software’s website.
