The interesting question is why exactly did the Moto CEO pull out of the speech?

Was it just that their quarterly numbers were bad? It would seem to me that a bold move might have been to address the audience to reassure everyone that Moto still has their act together.

Is it because Zander is working on something else that has come up…whether it be a massive new plan for Moto, or the deal to buy Palm?

Either way, I’d imagine that Zander could make time for a few hours to give a short speech that would shore up confidence in Moto. This way, it just makes a bad situation look worse.

Good for RIM, though…
