On: MS Exchange “remote wipe” is a terrible, terrible ...

[Poiesis]

I had no idea there were so many people unfamiliar with secure networks. Anyone who is anywhere near U.S. govt classified networks knows that if they hook up their device up to one of them, they will be lucky to get their equipment sans storage media--and quite likely delivered with a pink slip.

Corporations may not have national security in mind when they protect their data but to them their data is every bit as important.

What I want to know is, can Google wipe my iPhone if I have Exchange synching? Looks like that's a "yes". How about an option to wipe my device, myself? Wouldn't mind getting that without paying for Mobile Me.

I believe that Google Apps now supports remote wipe (http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answ...), but you need to pay for a premier account. A better deal than Mobile Me, if that's all that you want.
