i think last week i answered this question.
U get an unique ID (unique for every palm instrument)
SysGetRomToken
Return from ROM a value specified by token.
Prototype Err SysGetROMToken(Word cardNo, DWord token,BytePtr *dataP, WordPtr
sizeP )
This function is available only on Palm OS version 3.0 and greater.
Serial numbers are available only on flash ROM-based units.
Retrieving the ROM Serial Number
Each flash ROM-based Palm III device holds a 12-digit serial num-ber
that identifies it uniquely. (Earlier devices do not have this iden-tifier.)
The serial number is held in a displayable text buffer with no
null terminator. The user can view the serial number in the Applica-tion
Launcher application. (The popup version of the Launcher does
not display the serial number.) The Application Launcher on Palm
III devices also displays to the user a checksum digit that you can
use to validate user entry of the serial number.
To retrieve the ROM serial number programmatically, pass the
sysROMTokenSnum selector to the SysGetRomToken function. If
the SysGetRomToken function returns an error, or if the returned
pointer to the buffer is NULL, or if the first byte of the text buffer is
0xFF, then no serial number is available.

Subject: Re: Accessing Serial number Programmatically ?
So the serial number is not stored in ALL the PDAs.
Is there any other unique id or number stored inside the PDAs?
If yes, how do i get that?
