La Super Bowl se disputará el domingo de la próxima semana, y las cadenas de televisión y agencias publicitarias preparan para hacer la mayor recaudación por publicidad del año. Con una media de 111 millones de espectadores en EE.UU, los anuncios de la final cuestan en torno a los 4 millones de dólares.

Que RIM quiera gastarse esa cantidad para promocionar BlackBerry 10, después de presentarlo el próximo miércoles en Nueva York, es lógico, aunque el precio sea desorbitado. Pero quizás les sirva para ganar tracción en EE.UU, uno de los principales mercados que siempre ha tenido la compañía canadiense.
Baltimore Ravens vs San Francisco 49ers. Será un buen partido. Y entre medias, actuación y anuncio de RIM. No pinta mal el domingo que viene.
