American aerospace and Defense Corporation Boeing has decided to make a high end smartphone. There are already so many smartphones, which include the nameless cheap ones and luxurious high end smartphones, in the market today. The name of the game for Boeing here is “Security”. These super secure smartphones would be based on Android OS. This phone would serve the purpose for government, military and other high end users.
This Boeing Phone would be cheaper than military grade secure devices but would not compete with other consumer products like Blackberry and iPhones. So it would be priced lower than a super secured $20,000 device but, will not be in the same price range as other smartphones. The phone is in the development phase and we can expect to see it around December. Company refuses to release any details right now.
American government has a lot of Blackberry users including President Obama. This device can replace these RIM phones. When these phones are released, developer can work toward making apps related to defense, aerospace etc.
