Say Goodbye to BlackBerry? If Obama Has to, Yes He Can - NYTimes.com

[Owen Densmore]

Cute.  So now few of us can be president!  We'd have to give up  
blackberry's and presumably any smartphone etc. due to the  
Presidential Records Act:

Why can't the National Archives provide the IMAP/SMTP/VOIP servers to
record it?   Must be government/military officials that already have
super-secure VPNs based on biometric keys...?

I presume Obama is working on this as we speak.  He certainly wants to  
be as free as possible.  His chat on 60 minutes addressed what he  
misses in being so secure.  Walking is his high order bit there, but I  
bet the blackberry comes a close second!
