RIM execs cover 'Keep on Loving You' for Blackberry devs

• Tweet

Things couldn't really be this bad for Blackberry 10 could they?

At a BlackBerry developers conference on Tuesday, Research in Motion (RIM) staffers covered REO Speedwagon's "Keep on Loving You" in a music video message for the embattled smartphone's dejected employees.

The video features RIM's VP of developer relations, Alec Saunders, as lead vocals. He sings lyrics like, "And I meant every word I said when I said that our devs are the heart of our mobile endeavors."

The video description thanks developers "who are working hard" and "jumping on board every day:"

According to ComputerWorld, RIM's stock is down 60 percent this year, and the video appears to be an attempt to reassure Blackberry developers that they're not on a sinking ship. But RIM CEO Thorstein Heins assured the event's attendees that Blackberry still boasts about 80 million users around the world.
