On the eve of BlackBerry DevCon 2011, RIM's Co-CEO Jim Balsillie was quoted in an article in the Financial Post confirming the BBX name we exclusively reported on earlier this month,
For RIM's embattled chief executive tandem of Mr. Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, DevCon is their chance to grab the spotlight, draw developers back to the fold and silence the growing contingent of doubters with what Mr. Balsillie called the "BBX Platform."

Be sure to keep it locked to CrackBerry this week for live DevCon coverage!
