Hi. I just found this forum, and I apolgize if these questions are already answered someplace else but I really don't have a lot of time to be searching right now.

I am looking for an internet tablet for the sole purpose of being able to send/receive email and chat via Google Gmail. All of the other features of the 810 are nice, but all I really need is the email communication part. Since its primary use would be email (and lots of them) the keyboard feature of the 810 seemed very nice. It also needs to be small enough to fit into a purse, and the 810 seems to fit this criteria too.

My concern is about security. This tablet will be given to a woman who is trying to extract herself from an abusive relationship (which is a lot easier said than done). Keylogger and internet tracking software has already been installed on the home PC in order to track her activities, and she no longer has a secure way of communicating with friends and family.

Here are my questions:
- does the 810 have a password option on startup?

- if it has a password feature how secure is it? Does it trigger the password in the early stage of booting up so that you couldn't install malicious software without first getting through the password stage?

- is it possible to boot the 810 through any sort of USB connecttion and extract the content onto another PC?

- If the 810 won't meet my needs do you have any other suggestions?

These questions are complicated by the fact that the person trying to breach the security might have physical access to the 810, not just someone trying to intercept your communications in a wi-fi cafe or something.

I am more than willing to spend the $$ on the 810 but only if it is going to be secure. If she can't secure it then she can't use it and it will just become an expensive paperweight.

Thanks!
