If you knew Kemper you would laugh. He doesn’t dress to impress at conferences. He once went to WES wearing sandals and cotton pants. Amazing.

They’re big enough to have a presence everywhere. I don’t think it does them any harm to be at CTIA.

But it’s true, they’re big enough they run their own show. DEVCON is going to be double the size of this year’s.

That belt looks ridiculous with the rest of your outfit. Seriously, quit trying to be fashionable.

I can only guess as well. My bet is on the growing industry – is growing in mobile consumers and NOT growing Prosumers in the corporate (mid size SOHOs to full out corporate global business’ in excess of 2000 users). Due to this the larger corporate space on a GLOBAL scale is loosing head-count and those they cannot loose … usually those at the top tiers … are looking for ways to reduce corporate costs while increasing corporate mobile effectiveness and efficiency: this means cutting out the middle man (BES; non-BES-Express) and going direct Microsoft Exchange with a) Android, b) iOS4, or c) awaiting what Microsoft Phone Edition 7 will bring.

After DevCon there is not much point. Being a CITA wouldn’t have done any good.

Like Apple, RIM is large enough that they can run their own conferences on their own terms, and don’t need to deal with other stuff like this…

Agreed! Where is RIM? I was expecting to see the playbook proudly displayed along with some exciting new apps – along the lines of what motorola and Samsung are doing. For the amount of money they put into that meeting room, they could have had some small/minor presence! come on RIM! your marketing team needs to wake up.
