No, you can't do anything when a hard reset happens, because your app will
no longer be there. Let's make sure you've got the "reset terminology"
right:
Soft Reset: reset the palm device using either a software controlled reset
app or the reset pin on the back of the device.
Hard Reset: Hold down reset pin on back of device, hold down power button,
release reset pin, release power button. You'll be asked to delete all
data. Press "Up" for yes, now you have a clean, factory setting device,
with nothing on it except what was in rom (or flash ram).
