it was just announced that President Obama gets to keep his blackberry during his presidency. some government agency has super encrypted his e-mail so no one can hack it. rejoice blackberry owner.
This just means he has no clue of what types of things the President responds to and what the disclosure rules are. He will never be without an aid he can tell what he needs.
RIM blew this one. B.O. is not getting a BB. It's a stylus input PDA developed by General Dynamics in the states. Maybe Canada is considered an axis of evil now?? LOL
I think RIM missed this one. I mean, a BB Stealth would have been cool to clone. Oh well, I just hope B.O. gets used to using a stylus!
We can only Hope V.P. Joe Biden uses bag phone :-)
I'm just shocked that up till now there was no technology afforded to the President! I bet the red phone is still a rotary!

The "Hot Line" is actually a teletype, vintage early '60's.
Communications has come a long way, it is now possible for President Obama and Russian Prime Minister Putin to be PIN buddies.

The one he fumbled on the airport tarmak was a 8700, tough enough to take it.
I suspect it is part of the Democratic Party BES communications system. If that is the case, he can get an unlisted number and BIS for personal use, no problem.
