"PatchLink Corporation (http://forums.thoughtsmedia.com/www.patchlink.com), the leading provider of security patch, vulnerability and compliancy management software, solutions, and services, today announced it has integrated the security management of wireless smartphones and PDA devices into its award-winning, advanced, and multi-platform PATCHLINK UPDATE(TM) software. In addition, PatchLink has established a new Wireless Division to support its ongoing wireless security management technology, integration research and development. Final product delivery for industry-recognized wireless platforms such as Microsoft Windows Mobile, Symbian, Research In Motion (RIM) BlackBerry(R), and Palm OS is scheduled for Q3 2005."

I was asked once what capabilities Windows Mobile devices had to be remotely managed, and wiped clean in the case of loss, and I have to admit I gave them a blank stare. I know there are solutions out there, but they all enterprise solutions, something I don't know very much about. I wonder how this solution will compare with Microsoft's announced plans for remote device management?
