IPods and MP3 players threaten network security

IPods and MP3 players threaten network security:

"Gartner advised companies to forbid the use of uncontrolled, privately owned devices with corporate PCs. The prohibition should also extend to external contractors with direct access to corporate networks."

Well, as fast as we invent something good...out comes the bad side and we are surrounded by all fo this technology which can be used for ill. How will emplyers monitor Ipods, MP3 players, digital cameras with smart media cards, USB ports? Now that's a challenge? Our world is operating more and more on trust but the doors are wide open for abuse of that trust. So , how shall we perform?
