Kenny Logins: Jan 11, 2011; EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.

I met a traveller from an Canadian land,
Who said��Two vast and useless buildings
Stand in Waterloo. . . . Near them, on the green,
Half sunk a shattered smartphone lies, whose screen,
And hardware keyboard, and sneer of cold hubris,
Tell that its CEO well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the bezel, these words appear:
My name is Blackberry, King of Phones;
Look on my Security, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of those colossal Wrecks, boundless and bare
The lone and level wastelands stretch far away.�

quote:

"When it comes to security, BlackBerry is leading all other Android smartphones," the company said on YouTube. "BlackBerry lives and breathes security and has taken extra steps to help protect you from malware and hacks."

The company says the DTEK50 target audience is "everyone" due to the increasing threat that mobile security risks now pose to the public at large.

Unless the cops ask you to.

quote:

"It's not meant to wow you," Bader noted. "It's meant to wow IT managers who are looking for a cheap, secure Android phone."
