Not well thought out
The article detailed the problems of storing sensitive data on PDAs, but didn't provide a solution. If I were accosted about using my PDA, I'd continue to store my personal sensitive data on it, encrypted with a couple different programs. Then, because I need this company data where I can refer to it, I'd get a pocket memobook and write everything in it. That would make everyone happy, even though the company data was now less secure. You wouldn't have to break through 3 levels of encryption; just read the memobook. This is an improvement??

Outrageous idea
If storing network passwords (those crazy 10-char and longer alphanumeric codes that you indeed MUST change every month) on a PDA is not a good idea, then WHERE ELSE should they be stored? Password-protecting your PDA will not help, because the valuable info must be stored in non-volatile memory (e.g. flash card) anyway. Neither will encoding, because you don't have the time to decipher the info each time you want to use it.
The company can set a policy that NO sensitive info will leave the premises in ANY form, but does that make sense?

Ahh the Usual Suspects
First, the article was on PDA security and non-partisan it was too. It was a well written article, highlighting a major problem for companies at all levels, but it also highlights the stupidity of most users of phones and PDA's in realizing the value of the devices goes beyond the physical. You would have to wonder about the security of their personal computers. Hmm! maybe that's how I can buy a house.
Second, if you can't get the abbreviation correct then it's usually a sign you don't use the full title often.
Third, who cares if someone points out errors in articles. The writer usually does because errors reflect on their ability. That you don't care about accuracies in online articles shows how little you wish the internet to become the home to respectable journalism.Now if Spellman will check my spelling I can let you all read this missive.

Nice story BUT?
Regarding item #10 on your list, HIPAA is not spelled HIPPA - check your resource for that. It is an acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996(HIPAA).
