Boeing, the manufacturer of passenger planes, is also entering the world of smartphones, revealing that it will work with BlackBerry on the development of its Black phone. They are said to use their BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) 12 platform, and the main feature of the phone will be high security standards. Namely, data and communication will be encrypted with Boeing's PureSecure technology, and physical intervention will trigger self-destruction.
When we talk about self-destruction Boeing Black it will not be anything so theatrical as e.g. in Mission: Impossible. But although it won't be spectacular, it will cause irreversible deletion of data on the phone. It's as if the phone has bitten a cyanide pill the moment the miscreant tries to forcefully extract data from it. Well, it's not really going to be cyanide, it's going to be cover the screws with epoxy resin and a case that recognizes "burglary". And why such a high level of protection? Because smartphones have become mainstream in recent years a target of street thieves.
In the name of safety, this is how you came to be "death switch", which will be up to in June 2015 built into their devices by all the major players in the field of smartphones and which will be based on the basis of security software tools. We will be able to through them stolen or lost mobile phone found along with a dedicated online service, lock it remotely or even wipe data and software.
As mentioned, BlackBerry and Boeing engineers will go a step further. Theirs Android Black will "hire" for security the BES 12 platform, which will enable autonomous coding of established calls and will assist in initiating a self-destruct procedure if the phone detects an attack attempt. The biometric identification of the authorized user will also ensure that it is truly inaccessible to unauthorized persons (chest print reader), satellite receiver and transmitter, and room for two SIM cards.

If a process of self-destruction still somewhat shrouded in veil, Boeing laid all the cards on the table regarding the phone's specifications some time ago. It will be a device with a dual-core processor from the family Cortex A9 (clock 1.2 GHz), 4.3-inch screen, support for GSM, LTE and WCMDA and connectivity via Wi-Fi, bluetooth, DMI and USB. The lung, sorry, the battery capacity of the Boeing Black will be 1590 mAh (but he is not a smoker). And although it will primarily be aimed at business users and government services, given the number of places, will probably become a hot commodity even among regular users.
