    Interesting article. Does anyone know if DoD is actually using it themselves, rather than just developing it as an option? DoE is using iOS.

    US Government



    Samsung is the 2nd manufacturer to receive the US Government's stamp of approval.



    RIM's Blackberry was the first.



    Not even Apple received any FIPS certification from them.

    It's not like Apple was refused. I believe that they're currently in the process of getting that certification.



    "People ask why Apple doesn't seem to be in the [government] game; now it looks like they're in the game," said Randall Easter, director of NIST's cryptographic module validation program.

    iOS devices are heavily used by the US government. From what I have seen anecdotally, far more so than Android devices. I have not personally seen a federal employee with a government issued Android, but I have seen many with iOS. In fact, iOS is the only other government issued mobile device I have seen myself besides BB.

    Android itself is the spyware. It just happens to report to Google instead of NSA by default.

    So NSA want to spy on Google spying on people? Or it want to spy on people already spied by Google?

    Android disgusts me and so do Fandroids. Can you believe that AT&T had the nerve to send me a physical letter offering me two free Android phones last week?



    I'm sure they would welcome the dismissal as working for such a buffoon would no doubt be enough to drive anyone crazy.



    You want to know the type of person I fire? Morons like you who don't get their work done because they're too busy playing on their phone or complaining about products they don't own and clearly don't want to own.



    In fact, if you were working for me, I'd be embarrassed and in fear for my own job for ever hiring such an imbecile.
