People are pretty excited with the news from Apple about the new iPod Touch and refund for $100 for those that bought the iPhone. However, I havent seen that many people mention the updates to the classic iPods. In case you didnt know, you can now buy an iPod that can store up to 160 GB. Ill let that sink in for a moment

Ok. Are any of you security minded people worried? If my job involved data security, Id be a little concerned. Ive mentioned the dangers of portable music players before. Unfortunately, most security articles, such as here and here, mainly talk about USB drives. I did come across one that mentioned iPods as a risk. Like, some of the people quoted in this particular article, I agree that blocking USB drives isnt really practical. Informing your fellow employees of acceptable use is the direction I would go in. But hopefully, we wont be reading about a lost iPod containing databases of customer information. Losing a laptop or backup tapes is bad enough.
