I just lost my IPAQ 3835 and now all my personal info is compromised. I hated the password protect. b.c. you had to enter it everytime...yadda yadda yadda. I want a password program that prompts for a password at an interval that I set; Like a week or so. That way, if someone steals/finds my next IPAQ they will think all is well until a few days pass and then WHAM - no access. Go ahead, reboot it, but all my info is gone. Anybody heard of this. I will PAY. I am also intersted in partnering with a programmer to develop this idea for distribution....

Thanks! Mike

If you go to Start, Settings, Password you can enable a strong alphanumeric password and set the device so that it is not used for a period of time from 0 minutes to 24 hours it will automatically lock and require a password to access it again.
