Just for a bit more clarity on the iPad issue... I was rushing out the door when 
I typed my initial reply.

As noted, I'm aware personally of at least one non-profit board that has 
purchased iPads for the Board of Directors. However, these iPads have had 
software added to better secure them and ensure that sensitive information 
cannot be accessed if the device is lost or stolen. I don't know what specific 
software was added, but it is commercially available.

The point that I was making was that no one should assume that an iPad right out 
of the box is appropriate for use to hold information of a proprietary or 
confidential nature.

I'd also suggest that folks have awareness of these sorts of devices. We're 
gearing up to expect a flood of them after Christmas, plus there are Android 
pads coming out now and into next year, so there will likely be a variety of 
these devices, and a whole bunch of smartphones, starting to connect to 
corporate networks. If your company is not addressing this issue in some manner, 
it really needs to get moving.
