Are you saying that email sent via the Android GMail app isn't encrypted between the device and Google's servers? I can't believe that would be the case, since they made a big deal about forcing people onto SSL for web access to GMail quite a while ago.
I've been a PodTrapper user since this past January, and I have recently started looking into BlackBerry Development myself. As his write-up makes clear, Marcus at Versatile Monkey has to be one of the best developers I've had the pleasure with interacting with. I really appreciate the 'insider' view of developing for BlackBerry, and I'm sure his observations will be useful for my own pursuits.
Phones are for PHONING!!!!! not texting, not taking pictures, nor playing mp3s, nor controlling radio controlled cars or anything else..
I hate having to learn to use my new nokias as it is, without piling in more crap.
Whatever happened to "Do one job and do it well".. Seems nowadays it's lets cram as much crap into something that half works.
The exit is to the rear. Please turn in your geek card on the way out.
I am not sure how the system works, are locally stored emails stored encrypted? Does a password have to be entered every time you look at email?
Yes, and yes. Encryption is an included option on every Blackberry, and the datastore can be encrypted. A BES administrator can also specify a security timeout on the device at short as 60 seconds. After the timeout, the device locks and clears the key from memory, leaving the data encrypted. If the password is guessed wrong 10 (or fewer, its specified by the administrator) times, a full system wipe is initialized where each sector of memory is overwritten multiple times. If the battery is removed during this process, the wipe starts over immediately when power is reconnected.
I would guess that you are probably right. If these BlackBerrys were using BES, it actually is one of the most secure email platform s available for the enterprise.
It's my understanding that corporate BlackBerrys use encryption for while the messages are in transit. I'm not sure if the central RIM server ever gets a chance to see the cleartext message.
Congrats on passing the bar, however if you were to read Lopez again, you might remember the three permissible areas of congressional regulation of commerce. Only for the third, "affecting commerce", is the economic/non-economic distinction important. The other two areas of Congressionally-permissible regulation are instrumentalities and channels of commerce. I think a good argument could be made that the broadcast flag involves the channels of commerce.

It is harmonized with SMS already. The difference between 160 and 140 characters is to provide room for the username.
Lazaridis is insane... why would he believe he could run BlackBerry any better today than he did before?
Wi-Fi triangulation should be pretty accurate, since pretty much any Starbucks store is guaranteed to be broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal.

So it's taken the TSA over 10 years after 9/11 to attempt to close this loophole? Good work guys!
AT&T has always unlocked non-iPhones, but the news here is they finally are unlocking iPhones.
Thanks CmdrTaco! You built an amazing thing, and the world was better for it.
Aren't law enforcement agencies required to publish DUI checkpoints in the newspaper?
However, the site claims "we will be making the source available for download and inspection shortly."
The % is not the important number. Our economy has grown tremendously since 1953. The pie has gotten bigger!

The Firefox extension forces GMail to always run over SSL. It's great!
