Dell Streak 5 is first Pentagon-approved Android phone

And we wonder how "insurgents" can hack into live feeds from predator drones? Always a day late and a dollar short I guess, as far as the government is concerned. Dell has been courting local, state, and federal government since they started manufacturing PC's, so not too surprising.
Instead of a government of the people by the people, it's a government of the corporation, by the corporation.

So incredibly dumb...they certify the device instead of the software? This is why the predator drones were approved in spite of the fact that there were no passwords and open source applications existed to monitor their cameras even before they were built.

This means the Dell Streak 5 is to be the official phone of the US government. I didn't know the US gov't. is supposed to endorse stuff. What the heck is this?

Microsoft Office is the official office suite of the US government...without bidding or a security review.

Yes...because OpenOffice successfully sued for the fact that they were not given a chance to bid. If they had been given a chance, then their price of FREE would have won the bid.
