Blackphone To Release Secure Tablet

Blackphone To Release Secure Tablet

Smartphones Oct 12,2014 0

Silent Circle, the company behind the privacy-focused Blackphone smarphones, is planning to release a tablet. Jon Callas, co-founder of Silent Circle -- the company which makes the anti-snooping devices - said the company will add a new device alongside its existing security-focused phone, which encrypts calls, texts, and Web browsing, BBC reports.

Callas did not provide any additional details, though he did tell CNBC that it would be a "high-end" slate. The Blackphone retails for $629, though that does include a year's worth of Silent Circle's mobile plan.

The Blackphone was launched back in June. Slient Circle emphasizes the user's ability to limit how much information is sent and received thanks to the phone's control center utility. It's all made possible by PrivatOS, the privacy-centric flavor of Android that Silent Circle collaborated on with Geeksphone to build.

However, even PrivatOS isn't bulletproof, as it was rooted at this year's Def Con hacking conference, though the small size of the Blackphone community will insulate it from snoops looking for the biggest group to hack.

In addition, the PrivatOS has not been certified by Android, which means the devices can't access the Google Play Store.
