Attacking Windows Mobile PDA's

Presented at DEF CON 12 (2004), July 30, 2004, noon (50 minutes).

Microsoft's Pocket PC (AKA Windows Mobile) has remained relatively free of all the nasty attacks that have bombarded its PC based cousins. Does this mean this OS is any more secure or safe from attack? Ironically, this is as far from the truth as one can get.
