I personally went to Anton's forum and asked two
very specific questions, which he has been avoiding to answer throughout several pages.

Anton, just to clearify this and to avoid any misunderstanding: can you guarantee that there is not - and has never been - any malicious code in Pocket Mechanic that would under any circumstances hard-reset my device without a warning?

Thank you I am going to write about this positive development on our frontpage. Does this also apply to version 1.50, which was the version under discussion?

Although still "just" soft proof (I decided to remove Tad's disassembly in this thread which some people might even consider hard proof), I am pretty much convinced that what has been said about Pocket Mechanic 1.50 was true. It contains code that could hard reset your device if you were using a pirated serial. Although I am absolutely not supporting software piracy, I don't think wiping out someone's PDA is any better.
