Subject: For IP: Query re: Privacy of Handheld Apps to Access Login- 
Based Services

Howdy, fellow IPers!  I am writing to request some assistance with an  
article
I'm currently writing.  Here's the question: Is anyone using a third- 
party
application on a Treo or other Palm handheld to access login-protected
Internet resources such as eBay, satellite radio services, and the like?
(I'm thinking of programs like Abidia (http://www.abidia.com) or MiniXM
(http://minixm.com/DS/) ).  What about a third-party proxy service (e.g.
Anonymizer)?  If so, have you thought at all about who might be  
running those
services, who is getting access to your login information via the  
service in
addition to the site you want to access, and if so, what have you  
done about
it?

Thanks for any thoughts you can contribute.  {Jonathan}
