Project Play

Project Play began as a wild, pie in the sky idea over chicken wings. Could we create an event that would bring together so many of London’s fan communities under one roof? But more importantly, could we build that event as a fundraiser, providing play opportunities to children and families being supported by outstanding local organizations?

BlackBerry has said it will change its focus, going from six to four handsets and focusing on the enterprise and pro-sumer market.

“I think that’s a precursor of getting out of the handset business entirely,” telecom analyst Carmi Levy told CBC News.

The latest instalment of GTA, a cultural phenomenon that has once again sparked debates on adult content and violence, received strong reviews and racked up $800-million in first-day sales alone.
