RIM co-CEO and President Mike Lazaridis has been talking about the future of the Crackberry, moving forward from the Blackberry 8800 we saw launched at 3GSM ; and the moves the company will be making in light of the developments at 3GSM and with Apple’s industry defining iPhone.

He speaks about the growing connectivity options versus maintaining battery life ; the growing appeal of the Blackberry to prosumers and consumers, and the implications this will have for design - for example with camera phone Blackberry’s - and how RIM intends to keep going with QWERTY in the face of touchscreen.

Fascinating.
