You said RIM phones are the only semi-secure option.

They're not.

They're arguably the most secure, but there're other secure enough options.

Are you seriously contending that people need timed remote wipe on non-connection to a remote server?

That's a nice tinfoil hat you've got, there.

New They clearly don't need it for personal use.
But for some businesses (my current employer included) it is a must.

Of course, you Brits have no trouble with being snooped upon incessantly so I'm not surprised you think anyone concerned with privacy is worthy of a tinfoil hat.

New Heh, and you're not snooped on *at all*, right?
You keep right on believing that.

And constructing strawmen, while you're at it.

I know there are some businesses that want remote timed wipe; it's just that there are almost certainly too few of them to sustain RIM.

Feel free to continue arguing with things I didn't say, though.

New Of course we're snooped on. I've read the USA PATRIOT Act.
It's just that *we* don't like it. Most of you Brits think its not a problem. The Queen's entitled and all that. That's among the reasons we broke away from you, remember? ;0)
