Remember when the Secret Service supposedly told President-elect Obama that he could not use a BlackBerry? Obama won that battle and has been using a BlackBerry for personal use. Apparently the NSA has been working on a souped-up BlackBerry that President Obama will be able to use for official business, including accessing Top Secret data.
The Washington Times reports Obama will receive a BlackBerry 8830 in a few months that he'll be able to use at the White House and during Presidential travel.
"The top-secret BlackBerry 8830 is in the final stages of development by the National Security Agency, which will soon begin checking to make sure its encryption software meets federal standards. The device could be ready for use in the next few months. "
The President's BlackBerry will feature a software called SecureVoice, by the Genesis Key Inc. (Why in the world would they tell everyone what software is on the BlackBerry?) The software is so strong it can apparently turn any BlackBerry 8830 or Curve into a device that can beat hackers, eavesdroppers and spies.
