Well I suppose you could call this a back-handed compliment? Canadian Police are concerned, they say that criminals prefer using BlackBerrys because the devices are so secure they cant be tapped.
"The problem is that BlackBerry smartphones, designed by Waterloo, Ont.-based Research In Motion initially for corporate clients, run software called the BlackBerry Enterprise Server that creates a secure and private network and encrypts data."
A Canadian MP is asking that the government to force Smartphone manufacturers to provide ways to tap their phones and of course there is strong resistance on privacy grounds to that. Strikes me that making authorised 'back doors' into personal devices opens a huge can of worms, so I suspect this argument will run and run.
You can see the whole story over here.
