Boeing, which until then outfitted several of its aircraft in tablets for travelers (read: American Airlines: iPad for pilots, the Galaxy Tab to customers), is preparing to make a smartphone on behalf of the U.S. Army.



The aircraft manufacturer was chosen by the U.S. government to produce a smartphone with the same functionality as the larger public phones, but with enhanced security. Android was selected for his part as it will allow smartphone users to benefit from Boeing applications available on Google Play and secure communications at the same time, according to the manufacturer.

The price of the smartphone has not been revealed, but it is advertised as cheaper phones that they compete in the military market (around $ 20,000), but is not more affordable than a smartphone general public. No details either on the hardware. The Boeing Phone released by the end of the year.
