This is the first time that Boeing will be offering a mobile phone
designed for use on cellular networks. The project is already near the
end of its development cycle, suggesting that the device may be a fork
of Android 2.3 Gingerbread and not of the latest iteration. Similarly
encrypted devices currently cost $15,000 to $20,000 per unit and use
proprietary software and hardware.
The Boeing Phone, however, wants to drive down that price point, but
not necessarily to mass market pricing. The company also finds that its
target users may want top security, but they also want access to popular
apps. The Android-based Boeing Phone will give users an interface
they’re familiar with in the consumer market, while providing them a
whole other level of security.
