1. Is the Bluetooth channel between the handheld and ShowMate encrypted?

2. Can presentations be retrieved from the ShowMate?

3. Is the Impatica Viewer a signed midlet?

4. What application permissions (read/write/local connectivity/sms read/write) are required?

5. Your installation instructions indicate the following:
"Once the application is installed on your handheld, navigate to it, click the More button to open the Applications menu then choose Permissions. Ensure the permissions for Read User Data and Write User Data are set to Never ask".
This is not an option for me as the only options available are 'No' and 'Always Ask'. How should I proceed?

1. Is the Bluetooth channel between the handheld and ShowMate encrypted?
Yes, the channel is encrypted as of version 2.1.0 of the ShowMate firmware. This version of the firmware was released with 03 series ShowMate devices and can be downloaded here: http://www.impatica.com/showmate/updater/.

Some service providers do not allow the ability to set application permissions to Never Ask. In response to this situation we have created a Hotsite (beta) build of the Impatica Viewer for Sony Ericsson devices (v1.0.3a) that will allow you to set these permissions at runtime. Please email Impatica Support to obtain access to this build: support@impatica.com
