Well, if/when you do, I'll take another look at it. It's the one thing I miss from NiceStart (and just about any security app on the Palm side of things, including the builtin one). The reason being is I like to have strictly numerical passwords (usually 6 digits or so) as they are easy to enter quickly, but obviously they aren't as strong as alphanumeric. So to counteract that inherent weakness in an all numeric password, I would give the would-be hacker only 5-7 tries to get the password before the device is wiped clean.

So right now I'm muddling along with the default security and a stronger alphanumeric password (which takes a while to enter when standing in front of a client who wants me to take down notes on something).
