Obama gets a sweet new phone

(photo obtained from PCmag.com Security Watch website)

The new president will be getting a new phone for work because it seems his blackberry just doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to security. The photo above shows an example of the new windows mobile NSA approved pda phone.

As reported by PCMag.com: Security Watch

"One report notes that there is a Windows Mobile phone that might meet the requirements. General Dynamics Corporation's Sectera Edge is NSA-certified "...to protect wireless voice communications classified Top Secret and below as well as access e-mail and websites classified Secret and below," giving secure access to classified networks, your e-mail and web browsing via high-speed GSM or CDMA cellular networks worldwide."

Looks like a sweet device for the lucky owner of this pda. This device even has two screens on it too, with a warning of secured network connections and some extra features to fight off service attacks and possible un-authorized intrusions.

The only thing though is it doesn't include a camera with the pda but, it does have a windows media player. Hmm i wonder if someone could make a hack for some other media player for the unit so that the user doesn't end up with some typical windows codec error when trying to play a video.
