Obama's BlackBerry Replacement - Sectera Edge
>> Thursday, January 22, 2009
President Obama intends to keep his BlackBerry. BGR is reporting that President Obama will use his BlackBerry for personal use only, and will use a Sectera Edge for all official business.
The Sectera Edge has been approved by the NSA for offical use so Obama will have to use this clunky device as his BlackBerry replacement. Perhaps he can run the BlackBerry Application Suite on his Sectera Edge.
