What exactly is all the fuss about the Executive’s handheld? Oh come on. Does it matter if it’s a simple blackberry mod or a custom nuke-proof device… I definitely wouldn’t expect it to be a standard blackberry – imagine cyber terrorists discovering that putin is on his speed dial, or that obama is a secret heavy metal fan.
Sigh.
Here are some articles i found after a brief google:
The New York Times – Obama’s hypothetical endorsement renumeration. (Do Read!)
President-elect Barack Obama has repeatedly said how much his BlackBerry means to him and how he is dreading the prospect of being forced to give it up, because of legal and security concerns, once he takes office.
“I’m still clinging to my BlackBerry,” Mr. Obama said Wednesday in an interview with CNBC and The New York Times. “They’re going to pry it out of my hands.”
What could the “BlackBerry president” charge for his plugs of the device if he were not a public servant? More than $25 million, marketing experts say, and maybe as much as $50 million.
