NSA Approves Devices for Obama’s Use Including the General Dynamics’ Sectera Edge

We’re all aware how President-Elect Obama does not want to give up his BlackBerry () after he takes office. US Officials are still working on Obama, trying to ‘pry’ the BlackBerry from his hands due to growing security concerns. Luckily for Obama however, a few devices have surfaced that have been approved for web browsing, viewing of classified documents and email. One of such devices is the General Dynamics’ Sectera Edge: …a combination phone-PDA that’s been certified by the National Security Agency as being acceptable for Top Secret voice communications and Secret e-mail and Web sites.

Through three separate interchangeable modules, it works with Wi-Fi, GSM, or CDMA networks, and is dust-proof, waterproof, and rugged enough to survive repeated 4-foot drops onto concrete. Physically, it’s a chunkier second cousin to the Palm () Treo 750, though with an additional LCD display below the keyboard.
