After clicking on

After clicking on   Within the administrative areas for controlling individual users of Google Apps, administrators will notice a new listing of devices that the users have used to connect to Google Apps. The listing displays the device and when it first synchronized as well as the option to wipe the device out.  After clicking on a link to remote wipe one of the listed smartphones for this particular user, the Google Apps administrative interface asks you to confirm the operation. Devices that are wiped out are restored to their default configuration.  Once a remote wipe is confirmed, a message is displayed that the device will be wiped on the next synchronization. An option to cancel the wipe is available.  Once a remote wipe is complete, the device remains listed in the administrative interface for that user and it's status reflects when it was wiped.

After clicking on "Mobile" through the Google Apps "Manage Domain" interface, Google Apps administrators will notice some new options (shown in this screen shot). Those include the ability to completely disable Google mobile sync, to enable it without much in the way of policy settings, or to only enable access to devices that conform to specific policy settings.
