An informative post. I use my Palm Treo 500 Smartphone for Google Apps but didn't relaise that if the device from where I am accessing the Google Apps account gets stolen then this person possessing my Palm Treo 500 Smartphone can open my account using the session cookies present in the browser of my Smartphone. Thanks for the warning.
