Actually, I bring my iPAQ to my office. I have a USB cradle there so that it can charge while it is not in use, and the iPAQ reminds me when I have to go to meetings, etc. Usually, I take the iPAQ with me when I have to leave my desk, especially for meetings.
However, sometimes I leave for "just a few minutes." I don't always remember to the the iPAQ with me. Sometimes, I worry that during those times, the iPAQ might "take a walk."
Don't get me wrong. The people I work with are very trustworthy and reliable, but we have had problems in the past with laptops disappearing. Standard policy here at work is that all company laptops, when in the office, should have some sort of anti-theft device to prevent this from happening.
I figure that an iPAQ, being much smaller and more mobile, might prove an irresistable attraction to people walking by my desk.
