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><br /><br />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?
