Security Options for 660x (Pocket PC) that are available for Palm

First of all....yes I did a search but could not find what I was looking for in several other Security threads (and sorry for the cross post as I posted in the General forum by accident).

I want some of the security features I was able to get on my Treo 600 for Palm on my PPC-6600. Here are all the features that I used on my Palm that I am looking for my PPC-6600:

1) A utility that if you send an SMS with a specific title you set up, it will completely wipe the phone.

2) A security program that lets you set it so that the phone will wipe if you don't sync within a certain amount of time.

(Just a side note....WM05's will offer remote "wipe the phone" feature for IT dept and I don't know if it will be able to used without an IT enviroment.)

3) A security program that is easy to use like assigning a combination of hardware buttons for a quick unlock with requiring a password if the hardware buttons are not done correctly. (I know there are some PPC programs with this but wanted to know who have really had succes with what)

4) Still be able to answer calls without unlocking phone.

5) Encrypts specified files or folders while phone is locked.

i recently discovered an app thats not exactly what you were looking for for #1 but still very handy app called IIWPO (interesting interaction with previous owner)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=IIWPO

it says its for himilaya and wallaby but i have it loaded into my extended rom just fine.

In the best case, the new 'owner' provided address and all other relevant information. If he/she didn't, at least you have the new phone number of your device.
as an added bonus my custom cab file inserts my name & address into owner info after every hard reset

i wish we had the source for this program 'cause i'd love to modify its payload. here are some of my ideas:
1. somebody changes my owner name, my 6600 sends me the txt message, a special reply lets me initiate a stealth call to the device, where i can listen in to try to figure out who has my phone

2. somebody changes my owner name, my 6600 sends me the txt message, a special reply lets me turn on the camera and have it take pictures every x seconds, a simple program could scan the images and tell if they were completly black (in a pocket or case) and upload all non-black pictures to my pic account (as well as any taken by the thief)

3. somebody changes my owner name, my 6600 sends me the txt message, a special reply connects the device to the 'net and starts agile messenger to allow me to communicate with the theif (would be nice to do this without the name change too)

those would help recover the device but this one would be just for fun
4. somebody changes my owner name, my 6600 sends me the txt message, a special reply and my 6600 cranks up the volume, locks all hardware buttons and the touch screen, makes a special entry to the startup group to restart the process on a soft reset, then recording of a male voice starts making loud 'inappropriate' sounds and the device starts displaying as much of the most vile disgusting gay porn as i can fit into the ext rom. that'll teach them to steal from me. after a preset time, it wipes the CE rom and soft resets (would be recoverable with the rom upgrader and a bootloader reset if i found it afterwards)
