As a follow (and I emailed Paul directly regarding Douglas County's use
of the iPads), once you have an iPad, you can signup for the free Mobile
Me service (www.me.com <http://www.me.com/> ). This web based service
allows you to instantly see (on a map) exactly where your iPad is at,
you can remotely lock it, or send it a message, or instantly wipe it. A
very nice security service for free for the iPad.

Yes, the gadget (<--not the real word) appeal of the IPAD is infectious
to senior executives and elected officials it appears.
We're testing one in Public Works who are using it to VPN back to the
network to use "as built" drawings.
We have two councilors who just got theirs for Christmas who will be
testing these at council meetings. They'll be able to get the council
packets from the city website so there's no security issue with these.
Like IPhones, these things can usually be made to "remember" passwords
which users usually do IMMEDIATELY because they don't want to type them
in each time, making "lost or stolen" gadgets a problem...but
nonetheless, I don't think these are going to go away so we're
supporting them with a smile! :-)

Howdy All,
Our new commissioners are wanting to use an iPad or some similar touch
device, for reading board packets created in pdf format, and I was
wondering if anyone is using such devices for a similar purpose and what
devices you are using, connectivity to the network issues and any
security concerns. Your opinions and responses would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you,
Paul Ferguson
