The troubled mobile phone maker
BlackBerry still has at least one very
loyal customer: U.S. President Barack
Obama.
At a meeting with youth on
Wednesday to promote his landmark
healthcare law, Obama said he is not
allowed to have Apple's smart phone,
the iPhone, for "security reasons,"
though he still uses Apple's tablet
computer, the iPad.
Apple was one of several tech
companies that may have allowed the
National Security Agency (NSA)
direct access to servers containing
customer data, according to
revelations by former NSA contractor
Edward Snowden. The companies
deny the allegation.
Obama fought to keep his BlackBerry
after coming to the White House in
2009, though he said only 10 people
have his personal email address.
Neither George W. Bush nor Bill
Clinton used email during their
presidencies.
BlackBerry, a Canadian company
formerly known as Research In
Motion Ltd, virtually invented the idea
of on-the-go email, but lost its
market stranglehold as rivals brought
out more consumer-friendly devices,
like Apple's iPhone and phones using
Google's Android software.
The company recently halted plans to
be sold and is trying to chart a new
course by focusing on large business
and government clients.

You got part one right, but not part two.

Its because Blackberry Messages are harder to "hack" than ordinary texts.
