we’re at the bridge of a new transformation where we see it from going from mobile communications, there’s mobile computing.. blah blah blah .. we’ve really driven to is delivering a new unique user experience. blah blah blah... engaging our customers, consumers, our business customers, the developers, our partners and we’ve been interacting about what the new BB will deliver and the feedback’s bneen amazing around… blah blah blah... Total corporate newspeak from one end to the other. The only thing we learn is that he's a businessman, but he's also a familyman.

I think we also learned that he has only ever had to work at convincing existing bb users that the new version is worth upgrading to. He knows nothing about the technical features which is fine because he only ever interacts with high level people in enterprise businesses who don't care about technical features. I've started to think that bb management views the company like the IBM of the mobile phone world, an old and venerable company driven by great engineering that doesn't need to be greatly concerned with what its competitors are doing. Them having deeply internalized this kind of view of company is the only reason I can think of that their apparent arrogance and misunderstanding of their place in the world makes sense.
