Everyone's probably heard of the new Palm-alike Visor by now, and
it's got this "springboard" slot in the back processors, memory, and
other stuff.
The Palm's security model is, by most accounts I've seen, non-existant.
Is the Visor any better?
It would be nice to have a portable cryptographic/signature/digital
money device. Are we any closer?
Cheers,
RAH
