... Maybe.  I don't have any insight into what goes on in new phones
that come out.

I'm more surprised that they support OpenPGP instead of S/MIME!  Does
anyone have a Samsung phone that they can post this apk?  I'm
wondering what they're using for OpenPGP parsing - did they bundle
libgcrypt, gnupg, did they write their own...
