Here’s an interesting reversal of fortune. The Apple iPad is apparently verboten in Russian government circles due to security concerns. However, the Blackberry Playbook which hasn’t exactly set the world on fire is good to go because of the fact it has FIPS-140-2 certification:
If true, the backing of the Russian government could prove to be another victory for RIM as it seeks to use its reputation of prioritizing security technology to position the BlackBerry PlayBook as the tablet of choice for businesses and governments, the way it originally marketed its BlackBerry smartphones.
Seeing as RIM has had nothing but bad news lately, this is great news for them. Assuming that this is true of course. If it is, you have to expect that El Jobso is not a happy camper at the moment.
