CEO of RIM Thorsten Heins captured using BlackBerry 10 device at Lakers game!
RIM’s CEO Thorsten Heins and RIM’s Vice President Andrew Bocking, both attended Lakers basketball game, and were carrying brand new BlackBerry 10 smartphones. A sharp eye in the crowd spotted the duo taking photos with alleged, BlackBerry 10 L-series smartphone. Seems kind of weird that CEO of the company would leak new device, by taking photos with it in popular place like that, or can you imagine Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, taking photos in Lakers game with brand new Apple device. Well anyhow those photos are now leaked, and hopefully we hear more about the handsets in RIM’s BlackBerry 10 event on January 30th.
