I love BlackBerry. It makes me so happy.
Hey guys, Jessica here at the Foodspotting Festival at South by Southwest.
Now Austin, Texas is known for their food trucks and BlackBerry decided to team up with them to show all the excited festival goers about the new BlackBerry Playbook.
So let's learn about that and let's get our grub on.
Is this your first time here?
Yes, it is. Yes, it is. I am a South by Southwest Virgin.
There's the playbook. Tell me a little bit about what you've learned from it.
Well, it's my first time. I seen it on YouTube. It's a nice portable size. You can like go to a guy and you can be like, so what is 7 inches that can fit in your pocket? Not a lot but my BlackBerry Playbook. This is really cool. Now that I actually played with it, now I want one, you know, so, you know. Hopefully they don't leave one behind because, you know, I'll be right there.
Being able to run applications in the background, especially things like Excel or a video, you know, if you're going back to it and listening to it while you're working is really nice.
How is your experience on the whole festival so far?
Oh, it's great. We just love it. And we're from Intuit and we're here sponsoring cilantro on Go Payment, one of our mobile apps. You can just download it from, you know, any any marketplace. It's available for the BlackBerry. And it's a great way for anyone who needs to sell something.
I use my BlackBerry for everything. How about you?
I'm a loyal, loyal BlackBerry disciple and have to say I'm really excited to see where they take some of their touchscreen devices, particularly the playbook. I've been waiting to get my hands on one.
Take this puppy in your hands. All right. Act like you're Dale Earnhardt Jr. , you're on the racetrack. And then watch this. This is really cool.
Oh, okay. Well then, we're going fast. Try not to hit a truck.
And on this one, I think it's cool because it's like HD so like when I was doing the racing game, I'm like I feel like I'm in the car. Yeah. I'm Ricky Bobby.
Did you feel like Ricky Bobby?
Well, I didn't want to run out of a car on flames in my underwear.
You guys are the some of the founders of Foodspotting here at South by Southwest. How did this process happen?
So we actually launched Foodspotting about a year ago at the last South by Southwest.
I've been eyeing that cupcake truck for about the past two hours. The gourmet cupcake is one of my favorite things here today. That and the chicken and waffle.
Do you have anything to know is there's a secret menu that you can only find on Foodspotting.
Are you eating any good food here?
I actually tried the Korean BBQ tacos.
Korean BBQ tacos. The Korean BBQ taco truck is legendary. Is this place a really good place to eat? Because the line is absolutely insane. Like I have to ask, I'm like, wait a second.
Now Charango's very famous in Austin. They've got a huge following on Twitter and Facebook. And people love their food. I would get in line. It's wonderful. They the tacos are super spicy. It's kind of this really unique kind of fusion of Korean and Mexican food.
I love South by Southwest. It's become huge, but it's fun to be here.
Oh, it's fantastic. It's great. Uh, I've been having a great time. A lot of panels, a lot of talking. Like a whole new like energy. Like there's so many like people. It's like they come in and they take over our city, but it's awesome.
How are you liking stuff by Southwest so far?
Great. My favorite app so far at South by Southwest is sound tracking. It's amazing.
Are you gonna play me a little tune?
I will, only if you sing though.
I love BlackBerry. It makes me so happy when skies are grey because BlackBerry steals my heart away.
