    Today RIM had their developer meeting in San Jose CA. They are pretty much a sinking ship. Too bad because I have such fond memories of using BlackBerry for many many many years. As part of of the keynote they played this music video. The ""singers"" (I'm sure they were all dubbed) are all members of the RIM developer team. I've little expectation that RIM will survive. They may not even be around long enough to launch BB 10 provided someone wants to acquire. You undoubtedly will see this video over and over when the final chapters are written about RIM's many mishaps which led to their downfall. Thankfully Sage didn't pull this type of cornball video ..

    Interesting that they chose a song from 1980 -- because I bet most of their developers are of that age or older. Geez sounds like the Sage channel..

    I made the switch in the last month to Android. I've install Swift Key but I still miss the BB keyboard. Messaging was much better on the BB. Much faster and reliable.

    @MyronStevenson I was a palm and then Android Sprint Epic with slider keyboard user. I thought I couldn't live without a keyboard but I've found the swiftkey autocorrect (on the big gs3) screen to be faster than having to type out the full words on palm. Plus I get all that extra screen realestate

    So were these 3 VP's actually singing and performing this or lipsyncing? I have to say, holy frack, they sounded awesome.

    Pretty sure it was lipsynch. Just think of the production cost for music rights, band, musicians.
