How to get Unique ID?
Is there a unique ID in a Palm device?
Sometimes it's useful to be able to get a unique number to identify a device, like with a Pentium III or an Ethernet card. There are several candidates, but they all have flaws:
- HotSync user name -- can be changed by the user.
- Flash ID -- not all devices have flash IDs, and they can be changed.
- Device ID -- This is only on the Palm VII, and in POSE with a Palm VII ROM, it's 0.
