I think a lot of the stuff Silent Circle is doing looks great; but I think we 
need a real open OS (perhaps built on replicant?) for this to be truly useful. 
As far as I can tell no code for "PrivatOS" has been made available yet? Some 
discussion at lwn this February:

http://lwn.net/Articles/581085/

As for "encrypted calls to the pstn": I suppose this means the call is secure 
to the phone switch of the receiver (at best) and subject to ordinary wire-taps 
after that? So calling a source that is watched combines a false sense of 
security with an an (almost) traditional level of risk?

More technical details would ne helpful.
