It's not free (currently approx 7GBP (10USD), but does give you

How about remote wipe if the user did not have/set up mobile me?  Are
there options for that any of these packages?



Don't know, but there's also...

"iPad supports remote wipe. If a device is lost or stolen, the=20

(That's taken from the iPad Security Overview document mentioned by Brian.)

Not a lot of use to those of us still not running Exchange, though.
