However, my point is that because the data isn't encrypted, it's still possible to disassemble both devices (iPad and iPhone) and read the data directly, bypassing the password.

A friend of mine in the security business pointed me at an article on iClarified. http://iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7792 Which led me to Apple's "Phone Configuration Utility" http://support.apple.com/kb/DL85 And finally to the iPhone "Enterprise Deployment Guide" http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/ My iPod Touch now requires a much better password than the joke that is the default 4-digit number. I'm hoping that when released, the iPad will also be configurable in the same manner. Hopefully, it will not be quite as bad as you’re suggesting (at least for the advanced user).
