Protect Your Pocket PC with a Secret Sign

I have been using PDA-Protect from Transaction Security for a while and I'd like to tell you guys about it. PDA-Protect uses a patent-pending authentication technology called Crypto-Sign which is based upon secret signs such as a signature or a drawing. The strength of a secret sign is that it is much harder for an intruder to guess how to draw a correct sign than guess a PIN-based or character based password. PDA-Protect overrides the Pocket PC's built-in password protection and it works great!
PDA-Protect has been verified to work with iPAQ, Axim, Pocket PC Phone Edition and Toshiba Pocket PC and costs $10.00. The images below show you:
