Securing Your Droid; Setting A Screen Lock - Motorola DROID Manual

TIP: Sometimes the Corporate Setup option might not work for your Exchange or other type of
server.
In this case, you can turn to third-party apps for a solution. TouchDown is a $20 app from
NitroDesk that allows Exchange ActiveSync with Push email. This company also offers a free
trial, so do take advantage of it to make sure the app works with your Exchange service. For
example, it is not supported with some Exchange Server 2003 configurations. The newest
version of TouchDown also supports other types of servers, such as Zimbra, Kerio, Novell
GroupWise, Sun Java Communication Suite, Oracle's Oracle Collaboration Suite (OCS) and
Beehive Suite, and other servers. Check out NitroDesk's website at www.nitrodesk.com for
more information.
If you use TouchDown, you'll have a separate email, calendar, and task list. It will all look
familiar to Microsoft Outlook users; however, it doesn't sync this data with your Google
Calendar. You can download TouchDown from the Android Market or by visiting
http://www.nitrodesk.com.

Securing Your DROID

Your DROID can hold a great deal of valuable information. This is especially true if you
save information such as the Social Security numbers and birthdates of your family
members in your Contacts list. It's a good idea to make sure that anyone who picks up
your DROID can't access all that information!
