<<The only issue is that you would only want to put it into "trusted" machines ... because even if the data were encrypted on the storage device, the computer it was put into would have to be able to access the data ... and then, in a sense, you have "shared" it >> What would be more trusted than your own PDA? Currently the newer PDAs allow for data transfer using IrDA - Why couldn't that tranfer media be utilized for me to say transfer persoanal data (only the items I choose on from an app on my PDA) to whatever/whoever for any purpose I need? Go to the store, buy some items - couple of taps on the PDA screen and my credit card information is transfered, authenticated to the 3rd party source and transaction is completed! Only thing is I would miss the touch and feel of all that ditry money :) Regards, Peter J Strifas
