Hidden at the bottom of a Financial Times article by Demetri Sevastopulo is an interesting tidbit. From the last paragraph:
The National Security Council said the White House had created a team of experts to consider whether the administration needed to restrict the use of BlackBerries because of concerns about cyber espionage.
