Off Topic Sorry for the posts here Qheads. I thought I was on the Certicom thread. Someone must have referenced a post here which I inadvertently replied to. I'll just leave the rest of this post here in case anyone's interested. Q has licensed Certicom's technology too. This is from June of 1999... planetit.com Fidelity's Palm VII application, InstantBroker, will let customers receive stock quotes and execute trades in real time, as well as pull down account balance and position information, and receive price trigger, margin call and option assignment notifications. The service will be available to "active traders" who execute 36 trades per year or who have $100,000 or more in assets with Fidelity. The InstantBroker application will work like a standard Palm VII Palm Query Application (PQA) running on the Palm.Net service. Palm.Net operates over the BellSouth Wireless Data network, which also supports InstantBroker on two-way pagers. Both services use elliptical curve cryptography from Certicom Inc. to protect sensitive data. Customers who choose InstantBroker on the Palm VII will pay the standard Palm.Net rate of $24.99 per month for up to 150 KB of transmitted data, or roughly 450 full screens, plus a commission on each trade.
