Blackberry to release touch device

Although Blackberry does not indicate any touch device development in their current line of keyboard-equipped mobiles, there has been talks about an upcoming tablet device. Word is that the device is coming this November.

We are expecting the dimensions to be similar to iPad, wireless and bluetooth-enabled and of course the inclusion of popular speculation: tethering with your Blackberry mobiles. At least now you can share your oft-unused mobile data with your BB tablet, saving dollars on new data plan. It is also obviously predicted to come with touch keyboard interface.

The word Blackpad has also been suggested by various sources to be the likely name of the new device. Interesting as it may be, I guess the mysteries will be slowly unveiled, hopefully starting for the Tuesday RIM event where the touch screen 9800 will be unveiled.
