Gradually building up to contain even more information, such as door lock codes, alarm codes and car VIN details.
When I moved over to my new phone (iPhone 3GS) i soon noticed just how much I missed the application. Luckily SPB Software have released a version for the iPhone. Which (like the windows version) boasts a large features list that power users will love.
