Research in Motion made it public today that it has named Alec Saunders their new VP of Developer Relations and Ecosystem Development.  Mr. Saunders was interviewed over on the Inside BlackBerry Developers blog which you can read here.  He had this to say on his own blog

Over the last few days I’ve been in San Francisco at the Mobilize conference, and speaking with developers.   It’s clear from those conversations that the primary problem we face is lack of support from application developers.  My team’s job is to correct that – to win the hearts and minds of mobile developers again.

We certainly hope that Alec Saunders and his team succeed…
