I realize that I haven’t written very many articles for BlackBerry owners but I know several of you own BlackBerrys. Hence, I thought I should make you aware of a good program you may want to check out:
Although I do not (presently) own a BlackBerry, I do own SplashWallet for my Pocket PC and for my Palm TX, and it is a fantastic application. Hence, if you are looking for a way to keep secure data on your BlackBerry, this is a good app for you to check out.

Having used SplashWallet on a Palm and also Windows Mobile, I can tell you that it works well on the BlackBerry as well — just as you would expect from a SplashData product. Having both a Windows Mobile device and a BlackBerry, I was hoping that I could sync both with the same desktop program. As of the last time I tried this (sometime this past spring), there were some minor differences, so I actually had to use the desktop version for each platform separately. I hope that they fix this eventually. However, it’s not that difficult to export indivdual items and import them into the other program. Or, I can wipe out all of the data on one device and desktop app and import them all from the other one. Again, not ideal, but not too bad.
Also, SplashData has SplashShopper and SplashPhoto out for the BlackBerry as well. Haven’t used SplashPhoto on it, but SplashShopper works well on the BlackBerry as well. Good to see more great Palm apps being ported over to this excellent platform. Thanks for mentioning them, Bruce! I’m sure that a lot of people were unaware of SplashData and have been only looking at the BlackBerry-only apps that have been around for a while.
There is also a Password Safe program that comes on the BlackBerry. If you sync with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), it backs up this data automatically as well, all encrypted. That’s always an option, though it’s not as flexible.
Thanks for the super informative comment, Thomas. I’m glad to see some of the Palm apps being ported over, too.
BTW, I did download the BlackBerry simulator and toyed with it a little bit, but not much yet. May toy with it some more this weekend.
