I guess it depends on how you define secure?
If you mean 'nobody else can access the data if they get a hold of the card' ... there are many articles on the web discussing this issue - here's a decent (but slightly dated) one: http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Securing-Pocket-PC.html
There are a LOT of app's which will provide you with varying levels of encryption for your data - Resco Explorer has an option to encrypt, for example.
Use google (or your preferred search engine) to search for "pocket pc" and "security" (or perhaps "encryption") and you'll get plenty of hits.
I must point out though that we are talking about an extremely portable device. A PDA is just so easy to steal! An SD card is even more so. So if you are talking about data which really MUST remain secure ... you may well be better served by not putting it on your unit in the first place.
Hi
Actually we wanna do a simple thing.
we wanna put our application and data on SD card and allow access to this storage only to someone who have right to do it. (it isn't top secret )
SD category 3 of levels of SDMI security requirements will be fine for us.

But as I understand - there is some problem with it. It is a little bit strange - because every normal SD card has to provide this feature (and it is), but just there is no any suuport of it from OS? even there is no some 3-rd part File System Drivers?
It isn't sounds so hard to implement.
Why do I feel like we got gipped again?
I believe SD is a scam over MMC cards just like 1.44MB 3.5" floppy disks was a scam over the 720KB version... :x

I did some research into SDMI last year, as a part of a contract I was on. I've dug into my notes and found this:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/drm/sdksandversions.aspx#version
It may be of some use to you. Probably not ... frankly I find the whole approach of DRM to be a joke
What I am looking for is a program that I can use to generate and mange strong encryption passwords for a lot of my online activity (banking, credit cards, etc)
I would like a program that syncs from desktop to pocket PC so that when I am on the road I have access to the same passwords but in a format that is also encypted and protected by a master password.
Anyone of a specific program to meet those needs? I found a few on pocketgear that look like they would work but am hoping to find some real world experience here. This one looks sweet but is a little pricey

eWallet is excellent
Been using it for over 3 years.
Best one to choose
Tuurtje
As for myself I'd reccomend FlexWallet - nice looking & powerful & intuitive
second to eWallet..been using it for awhile now and it's pretty nice. I used to use PasswordPlus....but they kinda stopped making it...
Hi there everyone,
I just got an HTC Touch and I would love to be able to get a modern English translation of Bible on it. Specifically I am thinking of the NIV or possibly the NKJV.
Top features I am looking for are:
1) Easy to read on screen. Should be readable for practical use including reading out load in groups. Perhaps something out there has configurable font sizes?
2) Easy to navigate to desired passage (book, chapter, verse)
3) Basic search functionality so I can enter words like “apart law testify” and get passages such as Romans 3:21. The search functionality should be comparable to that of www.biblegateway.com - currently one of my most used resources.
Optional features that might be nice but not critical might be:
1) Bookmarks: So I can prepare a lesson and have bookmarks for relevant passages. If the bookmarks could be color-coded, numbered of have labels attached this might make it easier for me to know which bookmark to use at which point during the lesson.
2) Translation independence. Perhaps the software could be independent of the translation used and additional translations (RSV, NIV, ASV, etc...) could be purchased and loaded into the same software.
3) Personal notes: If I could enter my own personal notes and have them automatically date/time stamped and stay with a passage that might be nice.
4) A Windows XP/Vista version: if the software had a desktop version that might be nice but not at all necessary.
I realize such software is most likely to be commercial (particularly because the NIV is copyrighted to Zondervan) but if I could get something with the top 3 features I would happily pay for it.
Best regards,
The Fish.
Try www.OliveTree.com
They have the NIV and a few Bibles for the HTC Touch...
thanks
Drew
Try e-sword.net as well. (pocket e-sword) It is a free program and I think works great. I have not used olivetree before though. How do they compare?

That's the best I've ever used and I've been using them for over 6 years since way back when I only had a palm. Their Reader is independent from the bibles so you can have multiple bibles. You can also install the reader to main memory and install bibles onto storage card (in my case I have some in storage and some in main memory since I'm still having the random data loss issue on my Touch.) They have a number of free translations and then you can also purchase other translations for a reasonable price. And the reader itself is free so you can pick it up along with some free bibles to try out for a while. I'm sure you'll like it
Top Features:
1. Configurable font sizes - Check.
2. Easy to navigate - check. It has configurable scrolling so you can scroll by page, verse, chapter, or auto scrolling (goes line by line continuously great for reading out loud).
3. Basic search - Check
Optional Features
1. Bookmarks - Check
2. Translation independence - check
3. Personal notes - check
4. Windows Version - Check (maybe). They have a desktop assistant that's supposed to have some of the features of the mobile reader. But I've never given it a try so I can't vouch for it. Desktop assistant is $7 - http://www.olivetree.com/download/desktop/screenshots.php

I personally prefer Laridian:

Hi everyone,
It looks like I accidentally started two threads on the same topic. Sorry about that.
So far I have received three recommendations:
Laridian
Olive Tree
Pocket e-sword
Are these the only real players with this kind of a product? If so it should be pretty easy for me to try all three I appreciate your help in this. So far I think I am tilting in the direction of Olive Tree.
I actually use Mobipocket and love it. Have used it since my PDA days and have the KJV for it.
I recomend Olivetree
I have used this product for over 5 years on a Palm and just recently switched to a Touch. It has everything I could think of and has all the major versions including the original languages. There are vast selection of resources available and base package is free. You pay only for copytrighted material.
Highly recomended!
Touch_Pete
If youre willing to spend some money I suggest Quick Verse mobile 2007. It is a truly multimedia bible that even my non-techy wife was impressed with.

I absolutely love e-sword but I haven't been able to make work on my vogue, installed from cab. If anyone has been able to get to work properly please share how.
thanks
I recommend OliveTree. I've been using it since I owned a Palm Tungsten E. When I switched to a Windows Mobile device, I discovered that the Bibles I purchased for the Palm also had the Bibles in the Windows format!!
does anyone know how to ge pocketbible 4 laridian for free??

I got a vogue in December, and I had installed and was using e-sword (which I have been using on my pc and several pda's for years) until I went from WM6 to WM6.1. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, and it won't load when I try to open it. I have also installed Olive Tree and Laridian and I'm evaluating them. So, so far I can't tell you how to get it working properly, but depending on the version of WM you are running, it seems e-sword might have a conflict with 6.1
Pocket e-Sword
Running fine for me with wm6.1, program installed in memory, Bibles and commentaries on storage card.
Yes, I can confirm VZYGuy's experience. I installed e-Sword on a Sprint Vogue and it works flawlessly. I installed everything to the storage card. And Incidentally, I had already purchased a number of premium modules for my desktop PC version of e-sword and managed to convert those to a pocket version. Works great. The sad thing is, I recently purchase Laridian for the Pocket PC because a number of people had said that e-Sword was not so good on the Pocket version. After using Laridian for a few weeks, I decided to go ahead and load Pocket e-Sword. Honestly and IMHO, e-Sword is far more functional, feature rich, intuitive, and pleasing for what I would like out of a Bible program. Wish that I would have tried e-Sword first (thought I was going to have to re-purchase all the premium modules I had and that discouraged me as well).
Here are my phone parameters:
OS: WM 6.1a
Base ROM Ver: 3.02 with DHarvey's Vista Black (awesome)
Radio Ver: 3.42.30
Storage Card: PNY SD 4GB

x2 for OliveTree
I'm happy for those of you who who are still able to use E-Sword, however it still isn't working for me. I reinstalled E-Sword and one Bible module. No go. I have a US Cellular Vogue with WM 6.1, Rom 3.01.573.4, Radio 3.43.30, and an 8 gig Kingston card. I'm currently running M2D, which I had not installed when E-Sword stopped working. It worked until I installed WM 6.1 Just like activesync. At least being able to access GPS makes up for the loss of E-Sword and the hassle with activesync.
I found the answer in another thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1772770&postcount=103 The problem Pocket E-Sword has is with .Net CF 3.5 which I have on my Vogue. Since I can't remember which program I installed which needed this, I will get by with PocketBible and BibleReader until Rick gets the problem sorted out. Since 3.5 is going to be required by more programs, this incompatibility will hopefully be reconciled at some point.
what program/method does everyone recommend for encrypting and password protecting a folder or set of files on a memory card? I would like to carry files with confidential info but dont want anyone to access them should i lose my phone.
excuse spelling. posted from titan.
Take a look at http://www.freeotfe.org/. There's a windows mobile version as well as the desktop versions.
Secubox
Greatest encryption software for ppc, google it.
thanks guys. will give them a shot.

Wow, thanks for the post. This is free and it seems to work very well. Very small memory footprint, no noticeable delay running video files, fast copy, basically it looks just like another mounted SD card, (and that is running the mounted vol from the real SD card!). The only issue I have seen is a slightly slow mounting of the secure volume. I can live with that for sure.
I run TrueCrypt on my PC's (no PDA version), but now I may switch my PC's over to FreeOTFE just so I can have a common solution on both.
Just to be fair, I will look at SecuBox, but for $40 I think it will have to have have some very good options over FreeOTFE before I can shell out the money.
Hi,
all I want is to write down some stuff (like bank data, etc.) that is protected by a password. Even on my old K750i I could write protected memos... is that also possible on Windows Mobile?
Thanks in advance!
Nobody? Is this really not possible?
I use slimPassword as it's the only one I have found that is free and can be used with my laptop (by syncing the password database file)

Ahh, thanks. That's a good start. I was hoping for something to take longer notes with (like password-protected Word files), as I plan to write my wedding vows on my TP2.
well just download something you like - there's plenty of free one's out there, and most probably even more paid ones too!
www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-tag-password.html
You could also use something like FreeOTFE4PDA which will 'mount' a password protected area for you to save files to, making it really easy to protect office files.

I'll take a look at them, but so far they all seem to be intended for storing short stuff like PINs, etc.
I use secure notes 1.2 it's freeware.
