[...] When Laziridis was putting so much emphasis on voice, maybe he shouldn’t be putting all his eggs in one basket. Given, that’s pretty unfair to say about the God of Hybridization himself, but hear me out. Weâ€™ve got two software releases from WES that are duking it out to provide voice-to-text conversion for BlackBerrys, which would seem like a step backwards if we’re to run with RIM’s current focus on voice. First on the list we have SpinVox, launching Voice-to-Screen Messaging Service. After converting your voice mail to text and e-mailing it to you, the software links up with your address book, so you can reply by SMS, e-mail or phone. [...]

You meant the RED PEARL, right?

[...] Number the Third: Like I said while live-blogging, I heard strong rumors last night that Mikey L was too sick to keynote, but my man came through anyways. However, did anyone else notice that during pauses in the keynote where he didn’t have to talk (like when RIM played about 18 video clips of CEOs talking about how great BlackBerrys are), he kinda looked like he was gonna keel over? It takes some serious brass BlackBerrys to deliver an opening keynote in front of so many people when you’re not feeling up to it. [...]
