Laptop Magazine Q&A with Research in Motion’s Mike Lazaridis
Research in Motion co-CEO and president, Mike Lazaridis, did a Q&A session with Laptop Magazine’s Mark Spoonauer recently and had some interesting things to say on the future of the BlackBerry, 3G, Wi-Fi and more.
You can read the entire Q&A here, however, I would like to comment on the last question and answer.
Q: What can we expect to see from RIM for the rest of 2007? Are there CDMA versions of the Pearl and 8800 coming?
ML: One of the great things about the BlackBerry is that because it’s a Java environment, it really allows us to quickly port the BlackBerry experience to other devices and to bring along with that a very high level of fit and finish. We’re not having to re-debug the applications. That allows us to very quickly put out new products. We have a really great relationship with the CDMA carriers, and we’ve launched very successful products with them, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we have products coming in the future.
<RANT>As I think about it, ML’s answer here ticks me off.
