Japanese carrier KDDI has announced a bunch of new devices today including the tablet you see above and below. This may not look familiar but it's actually Samsung's Galaxy Tab for the carrier. Dubbed the SMT-i9100, it features a 7-inch touchscreen display (1,024 x 600 resolution), 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, a 2MP rear-facing camera, and Android 2.2. Sadly, it's a dumbed down model so it doesn't have a front-facing camera which actually sucks.

RIM and Sprint has just made the BlackBerry 9670 official and it'll be called the Style. This flipping smartphone packs a full QWERTY keyboard along with an optical trackpad so that's some pretty good news right there. Official specs include a 624MHz CPU, a 5MP camera, GPS / WiFi b/g/n support, and OS 6.0. On launch day it'll only be available in the colour you see above: steel grey. For the royal purple model you'll have to wait until early November. You'll be able to get one on Sprint in the US for $99.99 on a 2-year contract starting on Halloween - Sunday, October 31st. If you're a premier customer then you can actually pre-order yours right now.

Update: According to Mobile Syrup, Telus in Canada will be launching this smartphone as well!
