The purchase of nearly 3000 iPads as flight bags by the US Air Force Special Operations Command was canceled because it specified the use of Good Reader, a popular document management app which happened to be developed in Russia. Naturally, security concerns were raised after this fact was discovered. After all, the military wouldn’t want to be associated with potential risks originating from foreign products used in their operations would they?
As ridiculous as it sounds, I wonder if they’ve never heard of Air Sharing. It’s much better designed although it’s a bit more expensive but at least it’s American.
PC World has more details with comments from Yuri Selukoff, the developer of the software, who feels understandably insulted.
