I listen to a weekly podcast put out by Leo Laporte and Steve
Gibson called Security Now. Steve is an expert in security issues
and says wep can currently be broken in less than two minutes
with easily found crackware freely downloaded from several sites
on the internet. I am about to switch to wpa because I no longer
use wi-fi wireless to connect my Voice Note to my router. I
switched to a hard wire ethernet card instead. I can still use
other note takers for wireless if I wish because my Braille Plus
does allow wpa. So does the Voice Sense and I believe the PacMate
does also. Hopefully Humanware will upgrade Windows CE with this
next update to allow real secure wireless connectivity.

WPA is much better security than WEP.
You can search on the internet if you want highly technical
explanations.
The System Administrator at my office simply said WEP is much
easier to
crack, so on the office Wireless Network he would only use WPA
because it is
much more difficult to crack.
