New Android does, too.
I haven't installed it but I know someone who did. It's slightly scary to setup, actually because the ability to remotely reset the device is fairly prominently displayed. And then partway through the install it looks like it's done a factory reset - only it hasn't really, it's just waiting for you login.

New Yep.
That's why I said RIM is still the only semi-secure solution. My yanking Peter's chain aside, he is right. Almost nobody cares. The bank my company uses for the health savings accounts recently rolled out iPhones to their people. They manage them through Airwatch which requires an agent on the device - a lot like MobileIron. The bank doesn't even disable Siri or iCloud *and* they allow their users to add 3rd party email accounts to their devices. But their IT Security guy said, "That's not a problem, though, because we don't show them how to add 3rd party email accounts." I damned near fell off my chair.

New Wouldn't you think banks would hire people who know that?
You'd be wrong. Because that comes lower on the "shit we care about" scale than not going bankrupt, and they haven't been real good at that lately.
