President Obama seems to have won his battle to keep his Blackberry, at least for now, and somewhat modified. This picture above shows the new President checking his Blackberry after the inaugural parade.
According to WIRED Magazine;
When Barack Hussein Obama went from president-elect to Mr. President Tuesday, there was much speculation that the collective powers of the White House bureaucracy would pry his beloved BlackBerry from his fingers.My friend TT has been rooting for Barack to win the Blackberry battle. Can't have a tech president giving up his gadgets! So, for now the score is Barack & Blackberry 1 / White House Bureaucracy 0.
Now a photo published on CrackBerry.com shows Obama checking his phone after his inauguration parade. It seems the BlackBerry will be the newest high-tech resident of the White House.
Obama has struck a "compromise" that allows him to keep the Blackberry to stay in touch with senior staff and friends, says an Associated Press report.
Security on the BlackBerry has been amped up, though White House officials are releasing few details on exactly how that is done.
