Well, this is just a splash page and says very little. It's in partnerships with http://www.geeksphone.com/ http://www.geeksphone.com/ which is FirefoxOS based. But yet the Blackphone splash has an image of a phone with Android buttons. They claim no hooks to vendors, so if it's Android I can't imagine this is going to carry the Play store. I'd be interested in knowing how they will secure and make private the core functionality of being a phone and sending email and text, all of which are insecure. On that, I'd speculate that this is just pre-loaded with Silent Circle apps, and maybe will be announced as having DarkMail and a choice of RedPhone. But... there's no info at all really, so who knows what this is. The only problem they really have to solve is the eternal question of: Is it possible to provide real security and privacy whilst providing convenience?
