Let me tell you a story… A few months back, the first Blackberry Pearls started filtering into our company’s ranks. First these little devices, much like the coveted devices before them, spread among the executives, then to the managers, then down to the snooty gods in human form (otherwise known as project managers), and then [ READ MORE ]

According to Billy G, 78% of all sales made since the January 30th launch had been for the software’s premium versions.
