Investment firm Allen & Co’s Sun Valley, Idaho media summit is a place for the world’s wealthiest and most influential decision-makers to chill out, enjoy a couple double Macallans on the rocks, and talk shop. It might even be a rare opportunity to escape to the comfort of a competitor’s product — a guilty pleasure you wouldn’t dream of indulging in more buttoned-up environments. Google CEO Eric Schmidt was caught snapping a candid shot from a BlackBerry (we’re pretty sure it’s a Curve 8900) at the event — and yes, granted, Google makes apps for BlackBerrys, but when there’s a phone that bears your company’s own name, it feels just a little bit like cheating, doesn’t it? We guess the big, ratty Google sticker adds back a sliver of street cred, but it’s not like this thing’s packing some furiously awesome camera that a Magic, Dream, or Hero doesn’t. How’s Gmail treatin’ you there, Eric? You’re using that, at least, right?
