Oh, I never said it was _practical_ The best thing, security wise, is to not allow anything in. In real life though (depending on the place.. there _are_ places where "nothing should be allowed in, period".) it's a compromise. We don't disallow these gadgets where I work, for example. But then the engineers are highly qualified, but more important - there aren't many Windows boxes to find. And of course the wi-fi is outside the corporate firewall.
