Ohhhh yes. We've gone worldwide on this trend!
Before BlackBerry Devcon Asia 2011 winds down this year, I wanted to take a minute and give a BIG HELLO to all of our CrackBerry fans in attendance. The last couple of days I've been getting tons of emails and tweets from conference attendees wondering if I was on location.
Unfortunately I am not attendance this year. I was really trying to make things work to make the trek to Singapore for DevCon Asia (I love Singapore - there are sooo many watch stores to check out and I'd stuff my face with Dim Sum from Din Tai Fung), but in getting ready for a killer Mobile Nations 2012 we just have too many projects we're up to our ears in for me to get away before Xmas. I know... :(
The good news though is that even without official CrackBerry represenation, the CrackBerry spirit at BlackBerry DevCon Asia is live and well.... our pal Joe is even representing with a BlackBerry PlayBook around his neck (learn how to make your own here)!!!
So enjoy the show BlackBerry DevCon Asia attendees, and I PROMISE I'll see you next year!
