There’s a new trend in mobile storage – the iPod. Everyone from business people to medical technicians are using their tiny white companions as a place to quickly store images or documents – a movement known as “pod slupring.” That’s handy for those folks but a fright for enterprises, especially if you have strict compliance regs.

This week Network World Radio talks to Abe Usher, who invented an app that can an suck Office documents onto an iPod in minutes. Usher talks about his app and explains what companies can do to combat the potential security risks.

Stream the interview or – how ironic – download it to your iPod.
