OS 4 doesn't encrypt any data. The enhanced security is due to Palm
closing holes that would allow getting into a device that had been
locked (when locked, you cannot debug or hotsync). There also are
automatic timeouts for locking the device that can be set. However,
once you have access to the device, there is no additional security for
the data. It is still in the clear in memory.
