There was a time when I was a skeptic about the idea of marrying a phone and a camera, or a phone and a music player. In fact, I had heated discussions during the late 90′s with colleagues at Microsoft where I argued that a single function device was the better choice.
But then there are days like today where I am glad I lost the argument.
Sitting at the parking lot of the Giant Tiger store in Manotick, waiting for the scouts to drop off my son Peter after a four day canoe trip, I snapped these photos using my BlackBerry Curve at the tail end of a late day downpour.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
