The average consumer may be able to thumb through FCC filings (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/28/samsung-galaxy-mega-lte-fcc/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) to get a peek at their next smartphone, but certain government employee's hopes lie in the hands of another agency: the US Department of Defense (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/01/wsj-android-ios-us-dod-pentagon/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget). Good news for federally employed BlackBerry fans (http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/obama-says-presidential-blackberry-ownership-is-no-fun-should/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), then -- the company just announced that BlackBerry 10 smartphones and PlayBook tablets (http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/13/blackberry-playbook-review/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) running Enterprise Service 10 have been added to the Defense Information Systems Agency's approved product list. Finally, DoD employees can toss out that aging BB7 handset (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/10/blackberry-7-smartphones-get-dod-army-military-approval/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) and pick up a modern OS. Check out the company's official statement after the break.
