Yes, he can but no, he can’t.
After all the fuzz as to whether Obama gets to keep his Blackberry, it seems that the parties have somewhat reached a compromise. According to reports, Obama doesn’t get to keep his Blackberry but instead, would get a new Blackberry-type one. Meet Sectera Edge, developed specially for the National Security Agency. His new personal digital assistant can be used in a classified mode with just a touch of a button. When used in such mode, the screen turns red and it can communicate only with similar handsets.
While his new gadget boasts of fantastic features, I doubt it if he’ll be as happy if they just let him keep his Blackberry. While I do understand the security concerns, it’s just really sad that Obama’s call to keep his beloved Blackberry to maintain communication with people outside the White House bubble is unheeded. The president and his family should have personal lives and personal telephones. Give back his Blackberry and not some high-tech £2,465 screening machine.
