I can't read the article, but I'll put down $5 that it's a SME PED (http://www.gdc4s.com/content/detail.cfm?item=32640fd9-0213-4...)


you can't read it? hrm. well, the article speculates about what it is he might be using:

"The security analysts speculated that Obama will use the Sectera Edge, designed by General Dynamics Corp. and L-3 Communications, because it meets the government's highest security requirements. It runs on Windows CE software, not the BlackBerry operating system, and it presumably would not rely on an e-mail pathway through a network operations center outside of the U.S., as the BlackBerry does, with NOCs in Canada and Europe."
