Quickies: SplashID 2.0, Serious Sam, Fitness Tools, HandyShopper2

Posted By: As Listed Monday, November 19, 2001 7:30:50 AM

SplashData has released a free upgrade to SplashID, which securely maintains personal identification info on a Palm OS handheld and desktop computer. It includes both handheld and desktop software (for Windows and Macintosh) and the data is automatically synchronized between the two. SpashID 2.0 uses password protection and 256-bit Blowfish encryption. It costs $20. -PR

According to GameSpot, Global Star Software has created a Palm version of Serious Sam: The First Encounter. Players must fight their way through 15 levels filled with enemies. It will be available in early December for $20. -Ed

Fitness Tools 1.0 is an integrated collection of fitness calculators allowing users to check body fat percentage, see how many calories are burned in an activity, see how much weight you should be able to lift and what your optimal heart rate should be during exercise. -PR

A win32 converter application that can convert HandyShopper2 (HS2) databases into CSV, or even XML files has been released. The converter can also take edited CSV files and convert them back. So far, the converter is only available for win32 platforms (Windows 9x, etc.). Developers have taken the converter and created Desktop Shopper, a Java powered application, as well as an XML viewer that runs in MS Internet Explorer. The newest addition to the lineup is an Excel worksheet that uses macros to run the conversion process behind the scenes, and import the resulting data, as well as reconvert edited CSV files, all without ever having to run the command line HS2 conversion application. To get these files, and read archives of messages about all things relating to HandyShopper, visit the HandyShopper Yahoo Group. While message posting is restricted to list members, the message archives and files are open to all. -Greg Gaub

It says SPASH and should be SPLASH, isn't it?

SplashID is the most useful 3rd party app I've ever seen. Good interface, free upgrades (Palm, take a hint!), very useful.

Why would I use this product and pay $20. I could use a real security app that secure the entire device for the same amount. This way I don't have to worry about my data not been secured.

Why? For one, I bought it when it was offered at $10. Second, I don't want to secure the entire device, only specific stuff such as passwords and logins. I don't need to protect things like 'pickup dry cleaning', or '9:00 meeting'. It all depends what you need.
