BlackBerry World 2012 hasn't quite kicked off officially just yet, but that didn't stop us from firing things up for a pre-BBWC podcast Sunday night. Bla1ze, Adam, Chris Umi and myself kept things to a short and sweet 20 minutes for this one, and we touch upon some of the things we might see (and hope to see) this week. We also sound off on those BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha photos that popped over the weekend.
Enjoy the show and be sure to tune into our next BlackBerry World special. Tuesday will be the BIG day, with the keynote taking place at 9am ET. We'lll be live blogging that one, and then will likely follow up with another podcast that night or Wednesday. Keep it locked to CrackBerry!
