As mentioned earlier, the RIM [RIMM] BlackBerry Storm was scheduled for release today, and it certainly did, amidst a flurry of “you-just-gotta-have-it” TV and radio commercials.

They’re touting it as a “developer gathering“. I’d probably categorize it much more closely as a “technical conference”. Whatever you’d like to call it, it’s firing up later today, for two days (May 28-29) in San Francisco, CA.
