Question:
A friend of mine says that there is some kind of industry push to have the ability to access your PDA or Cellular if it's WiFi or Blue Tooth enabled, with advertising as for example, when you walk by their kiosk at the mall, they shoot a little advertisement to your device.
Is there any truth to this?
If there is, in light of the fact that most of us are keeping our Blue Tooth on in our X51’s to keep from loosing the CF card, are we actually at some kind of “short range” risk? 
I wonder if a PDA is even worth the trouble to target anyway... :hide:
