Isaiah's Tech

According to Into Mobile, RIM has / had a couple of touchscreen smartphones in the works. Sadly, this is coming from an analysts' perspective so we'll have to wait and see if this actually turns out to be true. These smartphones are said to be three iterations of the Storm 3. One of them (like we heard before) was sporting haptic touch but that has been cancelled, the other one is said to be a non-haptic model which has more memory, BB OS 6.0, and a similar thickness to the Storm 2. Apparently, and more impressively, RIM is supposedly working on another Storm 3 model which has an "iPhone-like form factor, but slimmer" body and this could be running on software developed by QNX.

Into the tablet business, another PlayBook model (the PlayBook 2) could be available in the second half of 2011, which is quite interesting as well. Last, but not least, the analyst mentions that BlackBerry App World will somehow be integrated into the new QNX OS which should be on the Storm 3 and the PlayBook tablets.
