Dept of Defense Approves Android Handsets

[1magine]

I was certain someone would post this Pentagon approves Android device for Department of Defense, Apple still awaits clearance up today. ALso - not reported, 2 more 'A' list law firms in NY are leaving BES by February.

I can go on and on what this means, but anyone who is honest with themselves already knows.

All ready been posted some time ago at least the same info that is on the main page.

Yes it means that RIM will have to work that much harder.

Most likely due to the strides of 3LM (3 Laws Mobility)

3LM - Three Laws of Mobility

This frightens me. Not for RIM's sake but for the sake of national defense. The security standards have really been lowered.

Does it mean my phone will stop working? Crackberry will close?

Has to have the android market stripped out, only 2.2, and only the Dell Venue is approved. So basically an Android phone with no access to apps. Aren't we told that Android is so great because of apps? Also running an older version of Android. Sounds like a lot of caveats are just being glossed over.
