Yeah, lock em and load them into the flash. Of course, all someone needs
is to use a ROM transfer app to pull it out of the flash, and now you're
vulnerable to any application (as Aaron posted earlier) that resets the
beam bit...
But from what I saw, Kingpin's BeamCrack only unlocks locked apps stored
in RAM, and leaves apps preloaded into the flash untouched. (I tested this
against a SPT 1700 that comes with Symbol's diagnostics program loaded into
the flash, and it was left locked while other apps were unlocked.)
Don't take this as a go ahead to start loading your apps into the flash,
however, as the flash memory tends to be quite cramped already. It's best
if you incorporate a copy protection keyed algorithm into your app, that
way, when someone uses something like BeamCrack on your Palm, it will
transfer an application that would have to be cracked on the other Palm.
That'll at least stop the "casual" cracker.
