If any of you are in the Federal Government and travel oconus and wish to see a DHS threat assessment PM me and will see if I can send you a copy. It will require you to send a digitally signed email from your government email address to my government email address.

Below is a link to the informationweek article that provides the basic information.

I use a PPC (smart phone) with MS mobile OS. I can get my company email and view and edit attachments. I can also access our Citrix website and use my applications. All from my mobile phone. I dont work in government, but i work for a government contracted agency that deal in health industry so we are bound by HIPAA.
