I've only been to androidpolice a couple of times and it's now gonna have to work hard to get any recognition from me. "One day after android reaches "CLASSIFIED" it might get to the blackberry level". Sorry, but what a load of xxxx rubbish. Blackberry servers have to be locked down to get restricted and the phone OS and server were replaced, after barrack insisted on keeping his Blackberry. I imagine just a simple mail client (without html, an option android should have) connected via vpn to a secure server. Then other rediculous comments (which I realise androidpolice has no control of) like replacing radios with mobile phones for security reasons. Mobile networks are completely insecure. There are secure jam resistant radios, but so far DATA has been prohibitively slow and in the uk the limited bandwidth was swallowed up by voice. Hopefully mobile network security will improve by finally getting rid of gsm completely, it certainly would if there was awareness of how easily gsm can be decrypted. Even then there's another good reason that there is no point going into why the phone network shouldn't be used for this type of thing. In fact, a mobile phone is even worse than an old cb radio on a standard channel if you think it's secure because it's encrypted. (False sense of security) Maybe it will help get rid of the enterprise managers who say "windows and cisco is certified" and then use a web browser on their exchange box. :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Security Discussions" group.
