Good old Blackberry.  Back in the day when I did gig work for Uncle Sam we’d all be issued BB’s before going out of town to do our bit for king and country. They were modified, of course; encryption, satellite redundancy, emergency hailing, metal mil-spec body and all the rest. Always good, clear audio, and that straightforward interface that set the standard for todays phones. Barack Obama had a BB when he came into office, and he refused to give it up. So they issued him one like ours and he was a happy guy.  Eventually, someone named Jobs crawled into bed with Uncle Sam and sold him and his basement-dwellers on his new ‘more secure’ iPhone. A few months later, Obama was an unhappy guy again, and Jobs was dead.
