After his turn on the stage at the BlackBerry Jam keynote, Vivek Bhardwaj stopped to give a short backstage interview for Donny of the Inside BlackBerry Blog. Stating his favorite part of his presentation was showing off the new keyboard and BBM and the multi-language modeling, he also said whole experience was incredible, with the adrenaline from the audience making it very exciting.

When asked if there was anything else he wanted to tell the BlackBerry 10 fans, Vivek replied "I just want to say, it's just a few short months away, and BlackBerry 10 is going to be out there with some incredible experiences. We can't wait, and we hope you can't either."

I'm convinced that presentations never go 100% according to plan, regardless of what the presentation is about, and this morning's keynote at BlackBerry DevCon Europe 2012 was no exception to that. Vivek Bhardwaj, Head of Software Portfolio EMEA, experienced a glitch in his presentation while showing us some of the incredible new features that the BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 and BlackBerry Bridge 2.0 will be capable of. Specifically, he was demoing "Open On…" which allows you to open a photo or other document from your BlackBerry to your PlayBook with one click. Vivek snapped a picture of the 2000 people in the audience but when he tried to open it on his PlayBook it didn't load as expected. Fortunately, RIM really wanted to share this feature with everyone, so after the keynote Vivek got back on stage and they filmed a follow up of the demo, which worked flawlessly. You can watch that video above.

I've seen several comments since the video was posted and even on Twitter this morning about his lack of preparedness for the presentation, which is downright silly. A person could practice something 100 times, then the 101st time it goes wrong, and that happens to be the time he's on stage. Instead of focusing on the glitch, let's focus on the innovative new features that the update will bring to our devices. "Open On…" is one of many new additions, and looks really useful for presentations and other situations and I look forward to trying it out later this month when the OS 2.0 updates are available.
