Blackberry Snooping...
Users of Blackberries in Saudi Arabia will soon just have phones when the government shuts off web, messaging, and mail access to their users.
Why?
They claim "security" issues with the Blackberry, but not the way you're thinking. Because the data and services are hosted overseas the government is upset that they can't invade the privacy of their citizens and grab said data. Of course, they're also upset because apparently other countries can.
Prices on used Blackberries in the kingdom are dropping fast. Wonder if they'll go Android?
