Important bit from the article:
> the solution supported by the NSA—its SME PED (Secure Mobile Environment Portable Electronic Device)—was hardly BlackBerry-like. SME PED devices are based on a secure version of Windows CE, and they're only rated up to "Secret" classification. And as Clinton was taking over at State, the SME PED was only just becoming available.
It sounds like at the time that Clinton was moving into State, there was, literally, no good solution supported by the NSA for mobile email use.
Which considering it was 2009, and mobile email was already prevalent with Blackberry, iPhones/Androids, etc, is well, maybe par for the course for government entities.
