I'm actually surprised this isn't done or has been at least discussed by NSA.  I do have to say that the ONE thing I know W. Bush did right is give up e-mail completely.  Good call.  One of his only ones, lol.  I'm sure President Obama will see the light.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Level 5]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2009 8:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NSA-approved smartphones give Obama some ugly choices]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/13/nsa-approved-smartphones-give-obama-some-ugly-choices/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/13/nsa-approved-smartphones-give-obama-some-ugly-choices/</guid><description><![CDATA[i give it a year and he'll have a blackberry made just for him.

These phones can encrypt/decrypt on the fly. Have you seen a STU III before? They aren't small. Packing that into this form factor is friggin incredible. They're really mini PCs that happen to have phone capabilities. And 5 years to certify hardware/software? Seriously? I suppose people really do believe everything they read on the these here interwebs! They aren't sexy, but they aren't just a "secure" replacement for the Blackberry either. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[phatkrome]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 13th 2009 9:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NSA-approved smartphones give Obama some ugly choices]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/13/nsa-approved-smartphones-give-obama-some-ugly-choices/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/13/nsa-approved-smartphones-give-obama-some-ugly-choices/</guid><description><![CDATA[Neither look like they are running Windows Mobile.

It's the same reason in 2000 W. gave up his personal AOL Email. But for reference he can't use any of these devices.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anthony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2009 12:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NSA-approved smartphones give Obama some ugly choices]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/13/nsa-approved-smartphones-give-obama-some-ugly-choices/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/13/nsa-approved-smartphones-give-obama-some-ugly-choices/</guid><description><![CDATA[Support Obama's BlackBerry Addiction @ CarrytheBerry.com]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kerry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 15th 2009 11:50AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
