Subject: iPhone not likely to be used by DoD
Importance: High
As the US military
continues its search for the best battlefield smart phone, it’s looking
more unlikely that the iPhone will be a contender, reports "Defense Systems"
http://defensesystems.com/articles/2010/06/14/dod-smartphone-unlikely-to-be-iphone.aspx?s=ds_160610&admgarea=TC_DEFENSE
I pray that shun iPhone does NOT open the floodgates to other Federal Agencies.

Vote for your favorite phone on AKO (UNCLASSIFIED)
Has anyone really gotten the low down as to why the iPhones
aren't on the FISC contract (at least for navy). We have access to 3 or 4
droid devices (Droid, incredible, X, droid2), but supposedly the iPhone hasn't
been authorized. With the droid's ability to run unsigned content, this
doesn't make sense to me from a security stand point. In fact, there was
a recent application on the droid platform that was found to cache all phone
call records including txt messages and then send it to some IP address out of
country. They can't say that the droids are being tested for compliance
because the Droid X was available on contract within 2 weeks of release.
Anyone know?

Endorsement is a fairly grey area. Considering how
hard it is to buy anything but Dell, anything but Microsoft, anything but
Blackberry in the government...
If the government negates or attempts to negate everything save one product in
a category, is that not endorsement?
With that said, the Army is the only organization that I ever heard
"security through diversity" in the context of computing platforms
(which in the last 2 years applies to smart phones).

I'm surprised that such a poll exists as it gives the
appearance of endorsement and we (DoD folks anyway) are not supposed to be
doing that.

Noticed there is a poll on AKO to vote for
"If you had a choice of the employer-provided
smartphone you
received, which

iPhone has a slight lead over the Android.-
