Apple is the present, but that didn't last!

Because iPhones sell fast while Android is dead last. ZING!

Yup, they have a nice little poem going on

if they are still testing iOS is because the Venue is not satisfying.. hope they do they right choice.. for our country...

Take it out buddy, seriously it should have lost flavor a long time ago...

Ofcourse they are testing dell and apple devices they are AMERICAN unlike most of the other manufacturers...

13. quakan posted on 28 Dec 2011, 22:09 3

American in name only, they're still manufactured in china.

what's your point?

17. Lucas777 posted on 29 Dec 2011, 00:57 1

all the money still flows to america.. only a limited portion actually stays in china, and if they attempted to make the product in america they wud ironically probably make less money for america's economy

There is a problem with supply chain vulnerability for the iPhone. Until all of the internal chips of the iPhone are sourced outside of PRC, I don't think the iPhone is going to get FIPS certification.

old news why post again WTF

This is really bad news for Blackberry. A sign that Android security can be trusted at higher level compared to Blackberry.

18. The_Miz posted on 29 Dec 2011, 01:30 2

Which is delusional since Android has more security vulnerabilities(Carrier IQ lol) and malware threats than any OS. BB has higher level security. iOS is very secure.

gallitoking you chiken if we colide every android device into one device and release it every year with a minor upgrade iOS would have lost in 2010...wait it has lost it
also if someone counts all the sold android devices...lets just say that iJoke devices would have 10% of that number

24. gallitoking posted on 29 Dec 2011, 17:58

is ok to hate.. bbblader... you have a stutterrr or wwwhatttt.... dude i cant reply because honestly I twas not very clear (know I know how people feel when I type).. so please can you go 5th grade on me...

Ok, of ALLLLLLLLLLL.... the Android phones in existance, the Pentagon had to pick the Dell Venue? No one knows nor cares about it and there are far better options

21. Thullraven posted on 29 Dec 2011, 05:42

BB will always be tops when it comes to security, like it or not. I like that other platforms are being tested, but Android has more holes than swiss cheese.

22. seeds posted on 29 Dec 2011, 07:26

more prove that android is not only for fun & daily :-)

23. InspectorGadget80 posted on 29 Dec 2011, 12:32

WHY CHOOSE THE DELL Venue? They could of gotten the Galaxy Note which is better
