No, there hasn't been viruses written, or not that many because more people have computers than Palms. Just curious though, can people with PM's get viruses because they're running pocket IE and all that other software?

That's all well and good--that protects the Braillenote from any viruse that could be run without hte knowledge of teh person running it... but even so, isn't it at least theoretically, if not reasonably, possible? Haven't there been viruses written for Windows CE 4.2? If not, well, why not really, other than that people don't care? I refuse to believe that Microsoft can be that compitant as to make a virus-proof OS. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rusty Perez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 3:14 PM Subject: Viruses Was RE: [Braillenote] software development kit? > Hi folks, > Here is a copy of a message I received from Dean on the topic of > viruses. > > Hello Rusty, > > As Technical support have correctly advised you, the BrailleNote is > not vulnerable to viruses.
