I suspect nothing new to us who already follow crackberry.com. The tweet was probably meant to get more/new eyes onto crackberry.com

Default Kevin's Tweet

He replied to me last night saying "going to post tomorrow"..."a lot to comprehend". Who knows? Looking forward to any good news is always fun. I find it very cool that RIM's new CEO has chatted with Kevin at least twice since taking over. Did Mike or Jim do this at all? Hopefully this is a new marketing strategy to get to those that are truley interested in where the company is going. Just have to convert some of those Android/IOS people over as well.

Maybe they're going to release OS2 early or they found someone to head the marketing initiative at RIM

"a lot to comprehend"...did Thorsten offer crackberry Kevin a role in the company

Actually..this I could see. Maybe not buy outright..but maybe "officially" sponsor it or something along those lines.

Hard to say. I guess it would boil down to which site is drawing more interest. They could always do away with their "official" ones, or somehow amalgamate the two into one. Maybe throw a few support personall on here as moderators or something. I know personally, I don't think i've ever visited the official forums. I come here for all my news.
