Government Smartphones

Pentagon employees are trying out smartphones known for being spy-resistant. NextGov reports the firm Silent Circle created the Android-based phones. Users log onto the same phone under multiple personas with separate security restrictions. So a user could browse Facebook and family photos under one persona, and classified work emails on another. But it's all on the same device. A former Navy SEAL founded Silent Circle. It's now based in Switzerland. The Defense Department, not Silent Circle, configures mobile email so that it goes through military servers.

Government smartphones ?
That would be the only thing smart about the government.
