I'm moving very slowly towards moving from a Palm TX for my walkaround<br>
device to the N800. The N800 has much superior web browsing, a better<br>
screen, a darned good ebook reader, and thought I don't have it yet I<br>
hear there's a port of KeePass encrypted password database, which would<br>
be compatible with what I use elsewhere so I can just drop the file on<br>
the N800. I've got an adequate email solution, working. So if I find<br>
an address database and a calendar I can stand, I'll be good.<br>
<br>
Except that I don't dare take it out of the house. There doesn't seem<br>
to be any security. Anybody who found it could access my email, the<br>
passwords stored in the browser, the credit card information in the PIM<br>
database, and so forth. I found some kind of lock that takes a very<br>
short numeric password, but that's inadequate. And of course anything<br>
on either of the two memory cards can be read in any device you put the<br>
cards into, which means I really need encryption on them (or be sure<br>
nothing sensitive is stored there).<br>
<br>
Furthermore, startup is very slow, unless I just put it to sleep. And<br>
does waking up require re-authenticating?<br>
<br>
I'm assuming I just lose on encrypting the memory cards; I suspect the<br>
processor performance would make that a bad idea. I can probably live<br>
with that, with a little care on where things go. But I need some kind<br>
of authentication when I turn the device on or wake it up. How do<br>
people handle this? Or do people just wander around with their<br>
information ready to hand for the first person who snatches their toy?<br>
