President Barack Obama will have the use of a security-enhanced BlackBerry, to correspond with a small group of personal friends and senior staff. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the wireless e-mail communications will be secure, and that hackers will not be able to access GPS coordinates on the device to pinpoint its location.

The BlackBerry is essentially a handheld window and keyboard for mobile access to an existing mail system such as Microsoft Exchange.”]
