Page 6 of 6 Conclusions Although we did encounter a few teething troubles with the initial drivers, the experience with the device has been mostly positive. What we fail to see is a real market for the device. At least for non-organizational individual users. It is not cheap, for starters. At an estimated retail price of $179, you get a years worth of support and updates to both the Yoggie Pico Personal and Kaspersky Antivirus 6.0. A dedicated security suite will be cheaper, and probably cheaper in the long run. The fact that the device relies on external third party software to flesh out its management of viruses and spyware does away with at least some of the appeal of lowering the resource load on a mobile system. 
Sure, an antivirus suite will likely burden a mobile system's resources and memory less than an entire software suite, but we doubt it is to an extreme level. Buying more system memory is a smarter approach than lowering memory footprint here. That having been said, the ability to lock access to the tray application and management console has incredible appeal for an IT department attempting to manage the weakest link in any organization's security strategy, that being corporate mobile systems. This is where the Yoggie Pico Personal truly belongs. Without access to the tray application to override behavior, mobile users in the field would be required to plug in and use the Yoggie Pico Personal to access the Internet or any network. It is clearly an excellent way to enforce an organization's security policy outside of the typical office environment. Let us hope that people in that scenario do not lose the tiny device or snap it off in a USB port because it protrudes so much. If this were built as a PC-Card or Cardbus device it would make alot more sense. {mos_fb_discuss:7}
