John has been busy with the press. After FinancialTimes and Bloomberg, here comes another, when he was speaking at the Oasis Montgomery Conference. After all that seriousness, some jokes would be nice.
So while speaking at the Oasis Montgomery conference earlier this week, Chen was asked about the surging popularity of the iPhone. He said that iPhone users are constantly searching for power outlets because battery life on the iPhone can’t even last a full day.
“I call you guys wall huggers”, Chen remarked in jest.
He was also in a joking mood when asked why he left private equity firm Silver Lake to take the difficult turnaround job at BlackBerry. “I wanted to do something where I could wake up every day and worry,” he answered, adding “and I have fulfilled my dream,” as the room burst into laughter.
So, are you guys wall huggers? I do see both Samsung and iPhone users constantly having a cable plugged into the device on the go…
