ipads/iphones and full disk encryption

["Youngquist, Jason R." <jryoungquist () CCIS EDU>]

As many of you know, ipads/iphones and other devices are being introduced into the corporate and educational 
institution environment.  Currently we require all institutional owned laptops to be encrypted using full disk 
encryption.  The Apple ipad/iphone supposedly has "full disk encryption" but I've done a bit of googling and it appears 
that the encryption is really all that it is cracked up to be (see reference URLs below).  So, I'm wondering how other 
organizations are addressing this threat - specifically since a number of high-level folks seem to be carrying ipads 
with them these days with potentially sensitive information on them.

I would appreciate any thoughts on this issue.
