Curt 1 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Good name that! >>> Mr Obama was spotted tapping away outside the Oval Office before holstering the gadget on his belt, as photographers snapped away. Mr Obama's super-secure device - nicknamed Blackberry One in the media - is believed to be encrypted to stop foreign intelligence agencies eavesdropping on the president's private communications or tracking his whereabouts. The president, who says his device is a window out of his strictly controlled world of official meetings and blanket security, told reporters last week he had won a battle with lawyers and the Secret Service to keep the device. "The president has a BlackBerry through a compromise that allows him to stay in touch with senior staff and a small group of personal friends," said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs last week. "It's a pretty small group of people." Link to post Share on other sites
