I’m sure no one cares what happened at the WES Welcome Reception last night. It was basically a meet and greet with some booths set up in the middle of the ginormous room. It’s not exactly something you write home about. Well, except for the pineapple and bacon sliders. Man those were good.
What we did learn, though, was that Microsoft and RIM are joining forces to offer Windows Live services on BlackBerry devices. This will help integrate Hotmail with the BlackBerry platform, which is something many people have been clamoring for.
This will also help integrate Windows Live Messenger onto the BlackBerry platform. My question: Does this mean I can down get it through Verizon? To this point, I have not been able to, which is a shame, since I have many contacts on my MSN Messenger.
I guess I won’t find out until the summer, when the service rolls out. Or I could just go ask someone from RIM today. Something tells me I’ll be able to find someone who knows.
