It's useless to carry around encrypted data when the private key is also
on the device. You'd need to store the private key on a seperate
device, which gets to be a pain. You can get a port of GnuPG for the
PocketPC.
What would be slick would be: store a private key that a server knows
about on the device. Have always-on connectivity. Use the private key
to securely download to memory the private key that unencrypts the data
on the device. Make sure memory is securely wiped when done.
