Your best bet is to grab a copy of nmap and run it against the Wifi address
of the WM device - if you have a Linux or Unix box, run it from that, the
scans take a VERY long time on a windows machine.
As I recall, there are a few ports which are open, and how many you have
open will also depend on what software you have installed on the WM device.
For what it's worth, unless you have an open port, then it's pretty hard to
get anything out of a device.
I'd have very few concerns about having my Windows Mobile device running on
Wifi - aside from the battery consumption side of things that is!
