The Saudi government is considering banning all public employees from using smartphones and tablets, such as iPhones, iPads, and BlackBerry devices, during working hours after receiving complaints from the public, Saudi Gazette has reported. The directors general of three ministries have sent letters to their superiors requesting that they "look into the matter," the daily said, citing a source at the Department of Civil Status. Currently, there are no restrictions on public employees using smartphones and tablets.
