Thanks, jp_hero, was going to post the same thing. The 'factory reset' on the Joggler doesn't actually reset anything at all! I received an eBay Joggler complete with mobile phone number, wireless password, email address, family photos... It's all there, merrily unencrypted.

Using the reflash tool zaps the lot - including the wireless password in NVRAM. If someone was massively determined they could, maybe, recover it. But they'd need to do properly thorough forensic job.
