This mobile development from the Pentagon will secure a number of smartphone brands for war fighters.

Defense Department officials have revealed that the mobile development of a Pentagon system is being geared toward ensuring that a range of different mobile devices from different brands for war fighters will be mainly supported by BlackBerry as the tool begins its launch at the end of January.

The vast majority of these gadgets are going to be based on Blackberry, while the remainder will have other operating systems.

Officials estimated that 80,000 BlackBerry mobile devices, as well as 1,800 smartphones and tablets based on Android and iOS owned by the Defense Department would start to be connected to this new management system on January 31, 2014.

This is the latest step in the transition that began in 2012 to move toward mobile devices.

Two years ago, the Defense Department started to step away from wired workstation computers and toward more a more mobile access to information. This most recent effort is a considerable one in this process and it is wholly dependent on the proper functioning of this Defensewide system.

The project, which has an estimated price tag of $16 million , is meant to ensure that a possible 300,000 users within the department will not compromise military data on their smartphones and tablets. It has also been created to make certain that defense networks will not be corrupted while these individuals continue their information access while they are on the go.

Aside from BlackBerry mobile devices, it is expected that other popular gadgets to be included in this transition will be the iPad 3 and 4, as well as iPhones 4S and 5, in addition to the Samsung 3S, Samsung 10.1 tablets, and the RAZR line of products from Motorola.

In a statement, officials from the Pentagon said that “The new year will bring new mobile capabilities to as many as 100,000 DoD users.” They added that, starting on January 31, the department would be implementing version 1.0 of the unclassified mobile capability, and that it would then continue to expand the capacity of this management system to the point that it would be capable of supporting up to 100,000 users by the close of the fiscal year.

The rollout will be for a premium smartphone which has been nicknamed the “Porsche”.

It is not shocking BlackBerry technology news that the handset manufacturer has been struggling significantly over the last while, and that its previous device launches have been greatly unsuccessful.

What has come as a surprise to some is that it is now releasing a phone with a $2,400 price tag.

This exceptionally high end smartphone is making BlackBerry technology news headlines as the price tag is tremendous, despite the fact that it has been having a very hard time encouraging anyone to purchase – or even stock – the Z10 phones from its previous launch. The Huffington Post has revealed that the handset manufacturer looked to Porsche, the luxury vehicle maker, in the creation of the upcoming product.

The P’9982 that is making BlackBerry technology news headlines will be considered a luxury phone.

The P’9982 first hit the online store shelves on November 21. It was available in only a few specific locations, including the online store for Porsche Design, and at the world famous Harrods department store in London, England. This massively expensive smartphone runs on its own customized version of the manufacturer’s own operating system, the BlackBerry 10.2.

Its unveiling shows that it features a 1.5 GhZ dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 Chipset. It also boasts a 4.2 inch display and a 768 x 1280 resolution. Although the basic storage for the device is rather standard, at 16GB, built in, it can easily be expanded with a MicroSD card up to a much more healthy 64GB. Furthermore, the customers of Porsche Design will be able to take advantage of a broad spectrum of apps, including productivity, games, music, and video applications.

The Porsche Design Group CEO, Juergen Gessler, has explained that this new device that is making Blackberry technology news has been created as engineered luxury combined with powered performance. At the same time, the BlackBerry senior vice president of design, Alistair Hamilton, said that this newest product brings together the unique design of the Porsche iconic brand and the power of the latest devices that the handset manufacturer has released in the 10 series.
