Is it possible to completely and securely remove all personal data from an iPad?
We’re not sure. iPhone 3GS uses hardware encryption on all data on the device (this cannot be disabled). Wiping out data is as simple as erasing the encryption key. This can be triggered by remote management software (specifically, MobileMe, certain versions of Exchange, and paid Google Apps Premier accounts), or after a number of failed passcode attempts on a locked iPhone (by default, 10). In theory, all of these should be possible with iPad, but we don’t know if Apple has enabled these features.
