What isn’t there to like about WES? There are great people with great ideas about how we can better use or BlackBerry devices. Yeah, and the free drinks don’t hurt. Over the past two days, I’ve found myself going back to one place more than the rest: The demo theater. This is the place where a real geek can get his or her fix.

I then saw a post this week about how your BlackBerry can’t love you back that was referencing a post we did this summer about heightening BlackBerry addiction. And I think all of us have seen an article or two about how the BlackBerry is becoming commonplace - maybe too commonplace - and for some, at a price in their personal lives.
