Of course, there was a lot of speculation on the security of the device – what it’d mean if the device was hacked into by unscrupulous entities, how he could be located using the GPS chip or wireless signal triangulation etc. There was also speculation about Obama using the highly secure, NSA approved Sectera Edge.  But it finally looks like the White House has finally been able to address any concerns with the Blackberry for that’s what Obama is now using.  

This trend will also set another 1st in the history of the Presidential Records Act as the first time the National Archives may actually be storing Blackberry messages (text/email). Then in as soon as 5 years after the end of the Obama administration (2018 or 2022) we could possibly see how Obama communicated in today’s digital age.
