| BlackBerry Developer Conference Asia 2011 Singapore - Live Updates from Suntec! Posted: 06 Dec 2011 08:39 AM PST Mark of TP reporting for duty!  TP Friends, I'm now here in Singapore to witness and cover Research in Motion's BlackBerry Developer Conference Asia 2011 or simply DevConAsia to be held tomorrow until the 8th.  As some of you already know, this conference was supposed to be done in Bangkok,Thailand on the same dates but due to some unexpected and unfortunate turn of events - heavy rains followed by flooding in that region, to be specific - RIM had decided to move the venue to Suntec here in Singapore.  If it's your first time to hear about it, BlackBerry Developer Conference is basically a showcase for the latest innovations with regard to the BlackBerry Development Platform. It is a time when thousands of BlackBerry enthusiasts from the across the globe - including commercial and hobbyist application developers, faculty and students, business leaders, and key leaders from RIM - come together to collaborate with platform experts from the BB community and attend sessions, demonstrations, hands-on labs and keynotes, regardless of skill level. Personally, I think developer conferences like this guarantee a bright future for RIM -- especially now when smartphone battles have already gone beyond merely specs fights well into the realm of ecosystems and number of supported useful applications. These days, consumers don't just buy a phone on the merit of its camera specs, size, build or display specifications, they now ask, "How many free and useful apps can I actually download on this handset?" I believe BB Developer Conference was created to meet this new need of smartphone users by tapping into the genius of application developers. TP Friends, the conference will officially start at around 8 o'clock this morning. Of course, trust that I'll do my best to update this post regularly with the latest developments from the event. So kindly stay tuned.  Anyway. Earlier, the Philippine delegation had our Dinner Cocktails with members of the press from other Asian countries where our friends Oliver Pilgerstorfer, Hastings Singh and Gregory Wade from Research in Motion warmly welcomed us.  So far, everything's been great. Right now, I'm just looking forward to my one-on-one interviews with RIM representatives, and the labs and sessions later.  Alright?! Stay tuned for updates, TP Friends!
