Exciting. Gartner is warning about iPods because they can bypass firewalls and virus scans on mail servers - users can transport data on them. Sure, the same applies to all other mobile hard drives, USB memory sticks, floppy disks and whatever else, but of course they have to explicitly warn about the iPod.
Do the Gartner guys just want to rip off a few iPods from scared enterprises, or are they really that stupid?
