Re: This guy is an idiot
Sad, as BB is the only one that is actually secure by default.
WAS secure by default. The rot set in when certain nations asked publicly for the keys, which AFAIK revealed something that was already known at government level: if you want to secure it, you need to own the keys. Government approved BB devices always relied on separate keys to what the public got their hands on, but that wasn't really publicly known until some nations decided to go public with their demands.
The second ab-so-lu-te-ly stupid thing RIM did was to make it possible to load up Android apps. Even if they run in a separate segment, it still amounts to inviting burglars for tea.
They dropped the ball there, which is IMHO a shame because the QNX based OS they came up with is otherwise a heck of a lot better than what they had before.
