Wireless hand-held device approved for "Secret" data

[Gary Warner <gar () askgar com>]

I was interested in this story in the current issue of "C4ISR Journal: 
The Magazine of Net-Centric Warfare":

"Hand-held device OK'd to handle Secret data"

The NSA has apparently certified a new handheld device, "the 11-ounce 
Sectera Edge" to be able to switch between classified and unclassified 
data networks "anywhere they have a cell signal".

The online version of the story (dated twelve days in the future?) is here:

The product page from the manufacturer (General Dynamics C4 Systems) is 
here:

The sweet product demo video is here:

I'd be interested what this gang thinks of the idea of classified 
network wireless access for PDA/phones . . .
