Just a friendly reminder to anybody who is attending the BlackBerry Developer Conference or will be in San Francisco next Wednesday evening (Sept. 29th) to swing by the CrackBerry App Awards party. Hosted by our friends at xobni and sponsored by the BlackBerry Partners Fund (free booze!), the party will kick off at 7pm at xobni's headquarters (twitter's old offices). Shuttles will be running from the San Francisco Marriott Marquis hotel where DevCon is being hosted right to the party, so getting to the event will be easy. It'll be a good time, so commmmme on down! You can RSVP now by clicking on the image above or link at the bottom of this post.
The polling is over now for the 2010 CrackBerry App Awards and the votes have been tallied. Heck, we've even ordered up some Cracky trophies for the winners. All that's left to do now is get on stage and announce the winners at the CrackBerry Awards Party! If you're a developer and were nominated for an award, we especially hope to see you there!
