TOMBO - 128-bit Blowfish
CCrryyppttoo - can't find encryption algorithm it uses
Resco Explorer - RC2 (40bit) or DES (56bit)
PocketRAR - 128-bit AES
PocketSecure - 128-bit AES
CryptoStorage - 192-bit AES
Sentry2020 - 128-bit CAST or 256-bit Twofish
Airscanner MobileEncrypter - 168-bit DES
Here's a new one I ran into File Barricader 2007 (FREEWARE): Uses 256-bit AES. Requires NET 2. It's a file/folder-based encrypter - not volume based like FreeOTFE, Cryptostorage, Sentry2020.

-Remember, these programs all encrypt different things, using different methods. Some are file-based, file/folder-based, or volume-based. You can't compare them equally unless they are of the same class.
-For volume-based, I'd go with FreeOTFE - lots of algorithms to choose from (and the software does not need to be installed - just copy and run from card. You can also delete any algorithms and hashes you don't want to use to save space), free, and open-source. I wouldn't pay for Cryptostorage or Sentry2020, since FreeOTFE is free.
-For file/folder-based, File Barricader looks good, but it requires NET 2 - but I haven't tested this software.
-Tombo looks fine for what it's geared to do - a note manager with the ability to encrypt the contents of a specific folder (haven't used, but I don't need a notes manager, and I don't like the idea of a folder that screams out "Encrypted Files In Here!!!").
-I wouldn't use any software that does not publish the algorithm it uses.
-Resco Explorer is fine as a file manager and an all-in-one, but not a strong file encrypter. Airscanner is weak. And PocketRAR and PocketSecure are fine with regards to their encryption algorithm, but they are specialized programs geared more for compression and PDA-lockout respectively.
