RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis is no stranger to the stage of All Things Digital. The above image (video here) is from his 2009 appearance there, which, he took the time to hash a few things out with Walt Mossberg about the direction of Research In Motion and how he felt about the competitors, such as Apple, Google and Palm. Now, Mike Lazaridis is slated to be speaking at the recently announced "D: Dive Into Mobile" conference in San Francisco on December 6th and 7th. No doubt there will be a lot of talk about the BlackBerry PlayBook during the interview. It's always interesting hearing from the folks who actually run the show as it often gives greater insight to some of the thought processes for the organizations in which they represent.
