    BlackBerry 10 Jam, Sydney: Photo gallery

    Tags: , , , , , , ,

    photo gallery Last week Research in Motion held the Sydney leg of its BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour series of developer events to promote its upcoming BlackBerry 10 operating system. RIM has sent us some photos from the event, as below.

    Extended press release below:

    The BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour comes to Sydney

    The BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour that is taking place in Sydney today is a full-day event dedicated to providing Australia’s developer community with insights on the BlackBerry® 10 platform;, the vision, its key features and how developers can make apps that stand out to app-hungry BlackBerry users. Two hundred fifty participants pre-registered for the now sold out event at Four Points by Sheraton Sydney, Darling Harbour.

    “BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour will give us the opportunity to engage directly with BlackBerry developers here in Sydney. At the same time, to provide them with insights and support that will help developers to bring out the best, most relevant apps to Australian users on the BlackBerry 10 platform,” said Matt Ball, Managing Director ANZ at RIM, added, “Our goal for the BlackBerry 10 Jams is to ensure our developer communities around the world have the resources and support they need to ready their apps ahead of the launch of BlackBerry 10.”

    BlackBerry 10 Jam presents an opportunity for local Australian developers to learn and embrace the powerful and robust BlackBerry 10 platform in order to create compelling apps and content for the local and global market. Alec Saunders, VP Developer Relations, at RIM, added, “There are many talented developers in Sydney so we are pleased to be here. Thus far we have had a great start to the Asia Pacific leg of the BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour, and we’re keeping the momentum going here in Australia. Our priority on the World Tour is to ensure our developer communities around the world have the resources and support they need to ready their apps for the launch of BlackBerry 10.”

    The sell-out BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour was enthusiastically accepted by developers as they were eager to understand the capabilities of BlackBerry 10.

      I guess they had to send photos to prove BlackBerry developers still exist, otherwise nobody would believe it :)

        Actually I requested the photos — I wanted to see how big the BlackBerry developer presence was in AU, after all the problems the company has been suffering.

      Ahh yes. RIM. I vaguely remember them. I remember Palm too. Not that RIM is any danger of dying like Palm of course. Just have a listen to some of the delusional inspiring stuff coming out of the new CEO’s mouth!

      “If I look at the potential on Android, there’s not much out there. You and I know that Samsung’s playing a very strong hardware game… on hardware innovation, and they do it well, but look at the other players. Android is starting to fragment and fork, so I don’t know. My view is that we’re not just in the handset business. We’re in the mobile services, communication, and connection business.”

      And a dev conference with a whole 250 attendees! At least no one from RIM got drunk and had to be restrained (sorry, someone had to bring it up ;-))
