I'll give you one... Government buildings. How about another: Medical and pharmaceutical facilities.
I'd much rather have my PDA with me, than have it confiscated at the door, because it has a camera or 802.11x or GSM capabilities built into it. I still need to see my address book and calendar while I'm at these locations.
Being forced to store my PDA in a locker at the door isn't an option for me.. so, while I think "always-on" PDAs are very useful, their use is limited when you get into the business world where they present a significant risk to the security of the business itself, and aren't allowed on the premises at all.
