I read an interesting article today on the washingtonpost.com by Andrew Brandt of PC World entitled This Stolen Laptop Will Self-Destruct in 5 Seconds. It caught my attention because there are a growing number of laptops, PDAs, and cell phones that are stolen and this piece of software mentioned in the article can offer you peace of mind if there is sensitive information stored on your device.
PDAKill is designed to protect users of PDA's from loss/theft of their devices. It allows users to send a predefined SMS message which will hard reset the PDA, deleting the user data (including the storage area* and Storage Card which eliminates any files surviving the hard reset) returning the device to its original factory settings.The PDAKill package also gives the option NOT to delete the storage area and storage card. PDAKill will search the whole of the SMS message looking for your pre-defined search string, if it is found, then PDAKill will activate and destroy all information which is held on the device.
PDAKill also carries within it protection against the illicit de-installation of the software from your device.
So what are you waiting for? For complete peace of mind take a look at PDAKill here!!
