After UAE and the Blackberry Ban and STC in Saudi Arabia. Indonesia is the latest country to demand a change to RIM's policy of encrypting and routing emails through its own servers. Or Make RIM install local servers inside the Middle-East region and supervised by the Networks operators.

"BlackBerry enterprise solution was designed to preclude RIM or any third party, from reading encrypted Any claims information under any circumstances, since RIM does not store or have access to the encrypted data.The that we provide, or have ever provided, something unique to the government of one country that we have not offered to the governments of all countries are unfounded."

Pantech, Korea's No. 3 handset maker will not use AM-OLED displays on its new smartphones to be launched in the first half of next year because of a shortage of the component.

The company, which currently sells two AM-OLED smartphones based on the Android operating system in Korea, joins Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC in shifting to LCDs because of supply issues.

A shortage of AM-OLED displays hinders their bid to overtake rival LCDs as the dominant displays for mobile phones. Prices and technology also remain as major barriers holding back the adoption of the so-called next-generation displays in not only mobile phones, but TVs as well.

This prevents a country from spying on certain people that it fears could be planning a terrorist attack. Other countries are getting into the act as today Lebanon has said that it is considering a ban on BlackBerry phones. The UAE ban is expected to start October 11th

In this 7-minute video we explore the mysteries of Apple device charging.
