The Oddessy client included with the Dell Axim X50 Pocket PC stores the WEP keys as plaintext in the registry.

This could be a serious problem if a PDA is lost or borrowed. Since this information is stored as plaintext, anyone could read it and gain access to the WEP protected network.

The X30 also includes this client (after a ROM upgrade), and we are testing it also.
