As your mother always told you, using one password for all of your online accounts is a bad idea. Keeping multiple passwords for all of your various accounts is one of the best bets for online security, but remembering all of them can be challenge in and of itself. One solution is to keep them all written down and with you in your wallet or written on sticky notes and posted in various places, but that’s probably a bad idea too. For some, the only way to make managing that plethora of passwords and other pertinent account info work is if they can keep all of them strongly encrypted with one robust password that you can remember and on a device you have with you nearly all the time. Enter SplashID ($7.99 In the App Catalog), an application that allows you to keep all of your passwords in one, (hopefully) secure spot.

Right now there’s no good way to sync or backup your data from SplashID on webOS, which is otherwise a perfectly good app. But without any way to backup your data, you’re left in a lurch if it ever happens that you have to reset or replace your phone. The good folks at SplashData recognize that and instead of pursuing the desktop sync function that has typified SplashID on every other platform.
Instead they’re going after the solution that typifies webOS: the cloud. SplashData will in the coming months release a cloud-enabled beta SplashID. The app will sync your passwords and other SplashID data to SplashID Live, the ecosystem’s online repository. Additionally, you can expect that in the near future the cost of SplashID will rise, likely to their standard $9.99. SplashData is currently asking just $4.99 for the webOS version as they didn’t feel comfortable charging the full price for an app with no desktop sync functionality.
Thanks to Jack for the tip!

Yesterday brought us a great many updates, and we suspect there’s a reason: remember how developers were given early access to future builds of webOS so they could tweak their apps to work properly? Yeah. But updated apps aren’t the only thing we got – there were some new apps in town too, enough to bring the total count to 320. The list is long, so take a gander after the break.

Late yesterday (at least so the App Catalog tells me), two new apps found their way into the store. And today saw two more applications, including a returning favorite from the Palm OS days.
New:
- Evernote for Palm Pre (Free): Text, to-do, and photo note-taking application, syncs with desktop client.
- PocketMirror (Free): Outlook Synergy synchronization conduit.
- The Missing Sync (Free): Macintosh Synergy synchronization conduit.
- SplashID Beta (Free): Secure app for storing usernames, passwords, account numbers, prescriptions, etc.

The Classic PalmOS Emulator seemed really swell when we broke the news to the world, it became more than just a dream when it was confirmed, and when we got a live video demo of the Classic PalmOS Emulator, well, we got a little giddy. Now MotionApps has passed along a handful of real, live screenshots of some PalmOS apps running inside Classic on the webOS: Agendus2, Bejeweled2, and SplashID!
The basic install process, if you don’t recall, is very straightforward. Plug your Pre into your desktop and it will appear as a USB drive. Inside that USB drive is an extra-special directory called "Classic." Put your Palm .prc files into that directory and whammo: PalmOS apps running on the Palm Pre.
Next up from MotionApps: they’re still looking to help developers confirm that their apps will be compatible with Classic at launch. You’ll want to get in contact with them by April 10th1 to have a chance to become a ‘Launch Partner’ whose app will have guaranteed compatibility. They won’t be able to work with everybody, but so far everything we’ve seen indicated that there should be a wide swath of PalmOS apps that will work with Classic.
1. Important note: people taking the April 10th deadline as some sort of clue towards the Palm Pre Release Date …shouldn’t do that. Seriously, there is no relation to the Palm Pre Release Date.
