At the top? I'm sorry but RIM hasn't done anything interesting since the original Curve and Pearl came out. They're popular phones sure, but compared to other smart phone platforms like the iPhone and Android RIM is lagging behind, they're not so far back as Windows Mobile and Symbian, but they're not even close to leading the pack.

Obviously you aren't a RIM fan, or else you would know that the Curve old sold the iPhone last quarter, hence the "at the top of the consumer smartphone heap."

that part in the trailer with th Arena map strcuk me the most. I think your guess is a right one. Then again, that would mean ppl in the audience could shoot vids, have them uploaded to a central server, and have them accessed by all those who own the app. Sounds like a pretty amazing feature, but this couldn't be done in real time. Very curious to know what they really mean by "Experience the tour by every angle".
