I have used an older version of Eraser with great success on various types of media.  I will try the new version 
tonight.

"Eraser is a secure data removal tool for Windows. It completely removes sensitive data from your hard drive by 
overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns. "

Find it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/eraser/

I have not had much experience with erasing PDAs.  Some devices have a "hard-reset" option.  Here is an article I 
found.  Hope it helps.
