Coming to Blackphone: An app store loaded with privacy tools

Blackphone handsets can download and install a major software update today – ahead of the opening of an online store for privacy-focused apps for the mobes.

The Blackphone runs its own hardened version of Android, dubbed PrivatOS, on custom hardware. It allows owners to make and send encrypted calls and texts, among other security features.

Today's upgrade is the first serious addition to the operating system since the phone launched in July. The 1.1 build fixes a number of small niggles, but the big change is the ability to partition the phone's storage memory into areas called Silent Spaces, so that many different locked-down accounts can be run on a single handset.
