TOTALLY COOL GADGETS: Jimmy D sent this to me a couple of weeks ago.  If you are into mobile gadgets, this one is quite interesting.  It's called the "PARON MPC" and is the result of a joint venture between IBM and Consumer Direct Link, Inc.  So here's what they mashed into this device: Hardware Crypto: CDL-82 secure processing, storage functions, and IPSec VPN over Bluetooth wireless connections Biometric user authentication (see the fingerprint ID pad) Bluetooth Wireless Dual band GSM/GPRS (900/1800 and 900/1900) cellular wireless Embedded Linux 9:34:56 PM
