If the Obama and McCain camps are any sign of a greater overall trend, RIM's Blackberry is the smartphone of choice for Senate members. But what about the House? According to The Hill, Congress's Chief Administrative Office (CAO) is currently testing out a small number of Apple phones to see if they'll fit the need of House members.
"The reason we're trying them out is because we heard a lot of people wanted the option to have them," CAO's Jeff Ventura told the Website.
Currently the house has some 8,200 Blackberries in use--the devices has been in use since 2000. A switch to the iPhone would be pricy, including a new server. But who knows, maybe someone will design an app for getting rid of "pork."
