General Dynamics inked an $18 million contract with the U.S. secretive Nation Security Agency to design and develop a secure mobile personal assistant for defense workers. The PDA will integrate all type of communications it in including voice, data and web. The NSA PDA phone will provide secure voice and data communications, including e-mail, web access, file viewing and access to the government secure network. The device will use existing commercial cellular networks and will be able to communicate with a wide array of wireless protocols. The PDA will interface with the Department of Defense Public Key Infrastructure using standard access card. See less

L-3 Communications has won a contract to develop this ultra-secure handheld device called the Secure Mobile Environment - Portable Electronic Device (SME-PED — doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, does it?). Apparently it’s gonna cost them about $36 million to do it, too. The secure wireless handheld will have PDA functions as well as providing users with highly secure voice and data channels to enable communications between operatives working at the Top Secret level. The prototype pictured at right sorta looks like a very Eastern Bloc-flavored version of the Treo 650 — because in Soviet Russia, handhelds hold you! See less

Nokia is finally shipping the N70 music playing 3G cellphone. This do-it-all hottie sports a slide-activiated 2 megapixel camera with flash and dedicated shutter key and second, front camera for video calling; the RealPlayer media app supporting MP3, AAC, MPEG-4, JPEG, and the rest; integrated FM tuner with support for Visual Radio; MMC memory expansion to store your tunes and pics; and the usual list of Nokia smartphone apps for browsing the web or syncing with your calendar, email (with MS Office, pdf, 3gp, jpg attachment support), to do lists, etc. While it features Bluetooth 2.0, it does not list support for A2DP or AVRCP profiles so you’ll be stuck with tethered headphones if you want to jam out in stereo. Expect to pay about £250 for one. See less

Highlights: Expect to pay about £250 for one.

By Brad Smith | Aug 1, 2005 During a recent homeland security conference, an official of the National Security Agency (NSA) outlined the agency's plans to build its own secure wireless handset capable of voice and data communications over public networks, including CDMA, GSM and Wi-Fi. The handset, which the acronym-loving NSA calls a "secure mobile environment portable electronic device," or SME PED, would have to be capable of the kind of secure communications that falls under the agency's Type 1, or secret, security level. But according to NSA technologist Robert Nowak, it also would be interoperable with non-secret communications networks. On the plus side, the NSA's interest in such a device shows the importance that wireless communications holds in the minds of the nation's homeland security complex. Wireless has moved beyond basic voice and data communications and into government areas such as remote surveillance of military bases and mass transit facilities and border security.... See less

To my surprise, Nokia today announced the addition of three new business-oriented phones one of which (the model E61 pictured below) is particularly relevant because of its form factor and full QWERTY keyboard. Evidently this is Nokia’s answer to fight our Treo and other smartphones coming onto the market early next year such as Motorola’s Q. In hindsight it seems so obvious that Nokia should have developed such a phone before – the company certainly had the design and technical capabilities – but I have the impression that they did not do so because of NIH (Not Invented Here) syndrome. I guess that now that everyone knows that the smartphone is the single most important future device in the mobile industry that Nokia could simply not hold out from releasing its own. See less

Highlights: Aside from the estimated $800 street price and a commercial release that has now been pushed back to Q2 or even Q3, Engadget are swift to note that "even when the phone does arrive it'll have been in development so long that it'll already be obsolete when it debuts".

This is one phone that many consumers will want, but won't be able to get - at least not unless you're an NSA spook. We've nicknamed it the 'James Bond phone' because it supports voice and data communications supporting security levels up to Top Secret, as well as e-mail communications supporting security levels up to Secret. L-3 Communications call it the Secure Mobile Environment - Portable Electronic Device (SME-PED). Here's the gist: the SME-PED is a secure wireless product / PDA with converged voice and e-mail communications device similar to commercially available devices (i.e., BlackBerry, Treo 650). What sets the SME-PED appart from RIMM and Palm is that L-3 CS-East will leverage recent investments in cryptographic technology and Future Narrow Band Digital Terminal (FNBDT) and High Assurance Internet Protocol Interoperability Specification (HAIPIS) protocols to keep things all nice and buttoned up. Price tag on the whole program is $18M. See less

The NSA put out an RFP for a secure cell phone/smartphone and L-3 won with this Treo-esque smartphone called the Secure Mobile Environment – Portable Electronic Device or SME-PED. Most of the specs are top top top top secret, but we suspect that it will probably run a super secure version of Solitaire and I seriously doubt there will be a camera. It probably explodes if lost so don’t drop it into a box containing a litter of cute little puppies or you’re in for quite a shocker. This is probably based on an OEM spec that has been tweaked for the NSA. See less
