Except maybe encryption, but all other are useless on PocketPC.
anti-virus? i havent seen any virus for pocketpc.
firewall? Most ways of connection to internet already have firewall.
HotSpots, GPRS and other.
There is encyption in resco explorer and this software is more usefull.

I dont know any way to transmit any viruse from PPC to PC
And I know only one virus for PPC and even this one was made as experiment
and it gives notice before infection.
Anyway if something would happen I will restore from backup.
