I was thinking about the following question and wanted to throw it to
the wolves for input:

Is it possible to code a pocket pc or similar infrared app which
sends/recieves without anouncing itself by opening a dialog on the
target system?  In other words:

Scenerio A:
Upon entering a briefing/meeting, one could run this app, set his device
down directly across the table from someone else's system (target) and
send/receive data without the target owner noticing?

Has something like this been coded? Puclically?  Are there mechanisms
within palm os/windows to prevent this? If so, what are they?

Thanks.
