Re: Ascendo DataVault Version 4

can you import data from other password programs if it is saved as a text file? does the program also install on a pc? I use password corral on my pc and would love to switch over so I'd have my pw info on my bb too.

You can import data from 3rd party products like Cryptmagic, MiniSafe, EWallet, SplashID, etc. We provide default import settings and the ability to map fields in case a vendor has recently changed their data format. In addition, we support importing from comma separated value (*.csv) files and text delimited (*.txt) files so you can import from productivity apps like Excel, Word, etc.

Yes, Ascendo DataVault includes the Ascendo DataVault Desktop for Windows PCs.

To switch from Password Corral, export file to CSV or text delimited format, then import into DataVault Desktop and using field mapping to order the fields correctly.

If you have any problems, please write to wallet_support@ascendo-inc.com

Re: Ascendo DataVault Version 4

This software package is AWESOME! The fact that you actually install the interface on your PC, update everything from there, then download all the info to your phone is alone worth the price. It's totally customizable, allowing the user to create new fields, edit templates, choose icons for catagoies and groups, etc.

All BB software should be this good. It looks to me like Ascendo got this right... having my vital info at my fingertips, and secured, has been critical... great stuff!

Currently this version runs in compatibility mode on the Storm, which makes it close to impossible to navigate.

It was definitely one of the most useful apps on previous blackberries, hopefully it'll be updated for the Storm..?

EDIT:
Everything is fixed in updated v4.4.8, see below.

FYI - DataVault v4.4.8 for the Storm just popped up on their server.

OTA Download:

http://www.ascendo-inc.com/OTA/BBOS4_7/DataVault.jad

I've tested this and can confirm that all previous issues have been resolved.
- Horizonal mode fixed (amazing to see everything in widescreen!)
- Tree mode item selection fixed
- Hint button fixed

Really impressed with how quick Ascendo worked to get this polished up for the Storm, many thanks Marc!
