- yeah, I am also hoping it is an early alpha shot, EF1 looks way better in my opinion.
But I cannot wait either, I loved the first one and the expansion pack.
Little off topic, but my first post using ny dreamcast

- *sigh* ef sucked. as does every SP FPS out there... they're ALL very linear. like "[I]there's ONE way thru this place, and ONLY one. of course this makes sense, cause we never intend to leave this place[/I]"-ish =P

“Star Trek Elite Force II is the continuation of one of the most highly regarded Star Trek games ever,” states Larry Goldberg, executive vice president of Activision Worldwide Studios. “Incredible graphics, exotic environments, great characters, excellent teammate A.I. and, of course, the richness of the Star Trek universe – this action game has it all.”
The software is targeted towards large enterprise customers which use PDAs and must protect the data contained in those devices, such as government agencies and hospitals. For example, nurses at a hospital could have patient records uploaded to their Microdrive overnight, and then transferred via the Microdrive from a central PC to their PDA when they arrive in the morning, providing them with a detailed list of patient information for their daily rounds. U.S. federal regulations require that personal information stored by health-care providers be secured.
PDASecure can encrypt some or all of a user's files by converting the files into ciphertext, which is unreadable unless unlocked through a username and password, the company said. The encryption process was derived from a military-grade security algorithm developed by the company, Shahbazi said.
The software works on devices running Palmsource Inc.'s Palm OS, and Microsoft Corp.'s Pocket PC and Windows CE operating systems, said Shahbazi. A version for Research in Motion Ltd.'s Blackberry devices will be released by the end of the month, he said.
PDASecure is currently available worldwide. Large enterprises will pay US$79 for a single license and $999 for the server-side software package. Single users can buy the software to encrypt their personal Microdrives for $29.99, the company said.
