DISA gets a spoonful of Froyo, approves Dell Venue for military use

Remember when the DoD approved the Android-powered [Dell Streak for military use](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/31/dell-streak-gets-disa-approval-androids-look-to-pentagon-invasi/)? Well the DISA's latest list of approved gear now includes [Dell's Venue](http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/24/dell-venue-review/) and the custom version of Froyo that it runs. Sadly, there are some limitations: operatives won't have access to the Android market, all surfing has to go via a secure proxy server and there's a ban on all classified information being received on the handset. Now if you'll excuse us, we're gonna imagine a unit of Venues at boot camp all chanting "If I play Angry Birds in a combat zone, [box me up and send me home](http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/15/warner-releasing-a-clockwork-orange-and-kubrick-boxed-set-on-blu-r/)."
