A particularly interesting article on MobileCrunch.com discusses the concern of the Indian government's crackdown on use of BlackBerry devices due to their encryption mechanisms, while India DOESN'T seem to be concerned about encryption on Google, Apple products, etc. As the author points out, "...we’ve seen elsewhere in the world lately that people don’t need encryption to topple a government." Therefore, the Indian government really probably has bigger, more important things to think about.

And what does encryption really do anyway? Good hackers can kill off encryption without even thinking about it. You have to REALLY invest in security to ensure absolutely solid encryption...and someone will still come along to bust it up eventually. In the meantime, that kind of investment isn't one RIM (Research in Motion), BlackBerry's manufacturer, is really putting a lot of stock into.

One comment on the article did intrigue me, however...a respondent proclaimed: "Terrorists used Blackberry during 26-11 Mumbai attack; they did not use a Apple/HP laptop with a Cisco router and Google service to communicate with their masters." Well, to be perfectly frank, DUH!!! Why would anyone pour all of that time and money and energy, not to mention have the terrorists actually enacting the attack on Mumbai carry around laptops, on Apple or HP products and Cisco routers when they can just use BlackBerrys? I'm not saying it's right, but get real here: a lot of clunky equipment vs an easily-accessible handheld device. Which would YOU use?

Communications tool that could mean trouble?

With the proliferation of smartphones on global GSM markets, it's difficult NOT to wonder if/how they affect the crisis...or at least the pubic reaction to it. Nowadays you can snap a picture of anything going on around you and, assuming you're in an area that supports your network, as most global 3G networks do, send it to your friends, your family, CNN, you name it. Smartphones have the capacity to make all of us instant eyewitnesses, automatic reporters.

BlackBrry's most recent release...or threat to autocratic regimes?

But, do they go too far? Should the oppressive regimes ruling over these lands catch protestors, vreporters, photographers, journalists or just your run-of-the-mill tourist taking pictures and sending them, could that mean potential trouble for them...and their families?

Motorola's most recent global offering...or most recent global events communcations strategy?

Smartphones can virtually replace laptops these days. Whether it's an iPhone, an LG slider, a BlackBerry or one of myriad others, they usually carry the functional means to snap and send photos in the blink of an eye. But could that spell trouble for those using these devices to report from parts of the world from which the public desperately wants information...but at the cost of their loved ones? Methinks not.

I suppose we shall see how it all pans out...in the meantime, check out ThriftyComputer.com for great deals on unlocked GSM, CDMA and networked cellular phones!

Navigation controls, games to keep you entertained while you waited for the rescue ship, email or instant messaging devices to let all  your friends know ("Hi, I'm stuck here on this desert island!")

Verizon expands product offering with introduction of iPhone

So the big news lately is that Verizon will be offering the iPhone starting sometime in February (just in time for Verizonites to get their Valentine's Day apps...awww...). Here at ThriftyComputer.com all we have to say is...big deal!!! We've been offering fully unlocked GSM iPhones--that means you get your pick of GSM carriers instead of being locked into a contract along with the phone--for months now. Forget about Verizon's phone being a CDMA phone that can't be switched over to another carrier--not even a CDMA one--without going to the trouble to get it unlocked yourself, with the iPhone through Verizon you're stuck in a contract. And who needs that when you can get the iPhone at an incredible low rate and amazing savings, fully unlocked and ready for use on any GSM network, from ThriftyComputer.com?

Come on over and get your iPhone from ThriftyComputer.com and enjoy the power of the device, the apps, and the no-contract obligation. Only  at ThriftyComputer.com.

We all knew it was coming, and it appears the hour is nigh. Apple couldn't possibly keep its dominance over the smartphone market while maintaining exclusive contracting rights with AT&T. And while they have managed to squeak by with a marginal--a mere 2.8%--lead over Android in the smartphone market, it appears that the iPhone, despite its wizardlike gadgetry and versatile applications, may indeed end up bowing to Android, much like Macintosh did to Windows. (Check out the full article here.)

The bottom line is, people like choice. We like being able to switch providers, nullify contracts, and proclaim our right to access and use any network we'd like without giving up the hardware we so desire. And there's no more desirable piece of hardware in the cellular phone industry than the Apple iPhone.

At ThriftyComputer.com we believe you shouldn't have to be tied down to a contract or a network to get the handset you want...which is why all of our iPhones are fully unlocked, ready for use on any GSM network. At ThriftyComputer.com we want to give our customers the power of choice...at an awesome bargain to boot. Check out our awesome line of unlocked iPhones, as well as our broad range of cell phones, computer accessories and cellular accessories at the most affordable prices on the Web at ThriftyComputer.com.

Our iPhone 3G cell phones come with the same awesome features you're used to getting from Apple: access to the AppStore, the MobileMe data synchronization program, which syncs all of your data across all MobileMe devices for your contacts' information, email and calendar events. Kind of nice to know that when you make a change to your calendar on your phone, it'll be automatically synced to your home computer, your iBook, and any other MobileMe-enabled devices, right? They also feature sharp 2.0 MP cameras for clear still shots and video, HTML email for the richest email formatting available and Apple's Safari web browser, for the best browsing experience of any mobile device.

In addition to our arsenal of Apple iPhone 3G Unlocked GSM cell phones, we also have the unlocked iPhone 3GS model, which provides nearly twice the fun as the standard 3G, with must faster browsing speeds, email access, attachment downloads, even a built-in compass to orient your already built-in GPS in the direction you're currently going. Turn the phone sideways while typing for a larger, more user-friendly, landscape-style QWERTY keyboard, and take high-quality video and photos with the upgraded 3.0 MP camera.
