I also have sensitive data on my x50v. First of all, you need to restrict access to your PPC. I have tried a few diffrent password programs (including the OS version). Pocket Secure http://totalpocketpc.com/ works the best.

Second you need to password protect files that you may have stored on SD / CF cards. I use NYX Encrypter http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Se...ter-9117.shtml or SPB Pocket Plus (this includes a encryption option).

Third, you need to wipe any data so it cann't be retrieved. Take a look at FileShredPPC http://pocketpcapps.net/fileshredppc.aspx.

Good luck.
