The Department of Defense (DoD) has approved the use of the Z10 and Q10 BlackBerry, BlackBerry Playbook and Samsung Galaxy S internal networks IV Pentagon considering that these meet the safety requirements defined.

In the case of the Canadian operating system technology are the existence of two separate working environments – one personal and one business – and the connection to the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, responsible for the approval of the DoD. In the case of Samsung’s application Knox, who also provides a separation between the two kinds of “lives”, responsible for the approval of the latest flagship of the South Korean company.

In the case of Samsung there is another prominent factor: this is the first time that a device with Android operating system is approved by the Department of Defense.

In the case of the approval of the DoD BlackBerry turns out to be important since a few weeks ago the company became involved in rumors that they are aware of no approval from the British government, news was not confirmed and could have mortgaged the launch of new smartphones.

As for iOS 6, a responsible Department of Defense told The Verge that the operating system of Apple and their devices are still being tested, but that within two to three weeks should be the outcome. According to international media it would appear that even the apple brand software is validated for use in the Pentagon.

In the war that is waged at the level of private consumption brands smartphones are also responsible for the struggle to conquer space with corporate clients and can convey an image of reliability to users.
