It's one thing performing an HR to start with a clean device, quite another to be all set to do a presentation for a client and the bloody thing hard resets and takes you by surprise!
Like you say Steve, it shows the importance of keeping a complete backup on a memory card so you can get going again quickly. The question is how many people actually do have an up to date backup at all times?
Personally I've been lucky, no HR problems and a backup with me anyway.

Hmmm... that's interesting. I suppose a dodgy application could perform the same reset routine without the user knowing if you were really unlucky.
I hope the Task Manager app doesn't make it too easy to perform a hard reset if you really want a soft one. Now that would be annoying!
