Currently, it seems Microsoft's latest push (which seems the most
successful yet) to switch Palm users to PocketPC deals with encryption.
Now we all know that the Palm's software based encryption is good enough
to protect data, but before there's too much Palm market share lost,
perhaps Palm could release a Palm version which includes that new IBM
256-bit encryption chip? And a tiny encryption enhancement to the
PalmOS -> say, to compression manager...
OK, not trying to waste bandwidth saying what Palm officials obviously
know - just saying that as an end user and developer I am currently just
swamped with media FUD on Palm vs PocketPC security, and Palm could
easily crush this attack with a model that would still cost less than a
PocketPC.
