I'm a backroom TM and the other day I think I stumbled upon a way to crash a PDA. Now I did not actually go through and do it, nor will I try to attempt doing it... but naturally I'm curious, and hopefully one of you guys can shed some light on it.
EDIT - I've decided to delete the steps on how to do this (after the encouragement of insiteful1). Probably shouldn't publicly post that sort of stuff...
The only reason I came across this was because I was bored and curious what the PDA could do. But I feel like if the wrong person found out how to do this, they could do some serious software damage to a PDA. Most ways to attempt to get onto the control panel, C: Drive, or any other important places are blocked so that team members can't screw around with PDAs... which is why I was surprised I was able to access it without an Admin Password.
I don't want to test this out, because I'm afraid I'll crash the PDA and not be able to fix it. But it does worry me that anyone with a PDA can play around/delete with files on the C: Drive.
Is this a serious issue? Or should I just forget about it?
