Boeing is an aerospace and Defense Company that is known by most to make airplanes. Recently Boeing has introduced a highly secure communications device for those in the defense, government, and intelligence communities. The phone itself cannot be purchased by the public and is only intended to be used by people in the defense and intelligence fields. Boeing teamed up with Android to design the smart phone that will run on an Android network. Similar types of phones used for defense typically range from $15,000 to $20,000 per phone. That’s an insane amount of money for a phone. By using the Android network Boeing will be able to sell the phone for much less. I’m sure much less means it’s still in the thousands of dollars which is outrageous for a smart phone, although we do not know what its capabilities are. I think it’s really strange that a plane company is designing a top secret smart phone for government and defense agencies. I’m sure by teaming up with Android they will be able to create a very high tech phone. There was not much said about the actual phone due to the fact it’s a highly secure phone only to be used by certain officials and agencies. I wonder what the phone is capable of doing. I can’t imagine it being more advanced than some of the smart phones currently out on the market, but I’m sure it is.
