Thread: Official BlackBerry 2012 Roadmap Slide Leaked

With the new year comes expectations for every company on what they will be delivering to their customers in the near future. RIM is no exception to this unwritten rule. We know, for instance, that the BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet OS 2.0 will be releasing in a couple of weeks, that the first BlackBerry 10 smartphone will be dropping in late summer/early fall, and that we'd be seeing a new PlayBook and two new Curves as well.

Today, BGR has released actual evidence, in the form of official RIM slides, to support their BlackBerry road map article in which we learn a little bit more about what's new and reaffirm what we've already learned is in store for us this year:

• 7" BlackBerry PlayBook with built-in 3G (April 2012)
  
• 10" BlackBerry PlayBook with built-in LTE (late 2012 - early 2013)
  
• PlayBook Tablet 2.0 (February 2012)
  
• Mobile Fusion (April 2012)
  
• Curve 9220 (April 2012)
  
• Curve 9320 (May 2012)
  
• First BlackBerry 10 (codenamed London in late September/early October)
  
• New WiFi Media Server Feature

Thank you very much for this AgentBlackBerry!!

This is so exciting that RIM is planning on releasing a 7" PlayBook with built-in 3G & a 10" PlayBook with built-in LTE

As we all know, the upcoming PlayBook OS2.0 upgrade is coming very soon *happy dance*

What do our users think of RIM releasing these 2 new PlayBook models, and the first BlackBerry (BB10) device?

Your feedback is appreciated.

The iPhone is a better multimedia device, it's phone, e-mail and messaging features are not as good as a BB.
RIM is in the process of transitioning from BBOS to the new BB10 OS and ecosystem, the more devices out there in the hands of users, the more traction BB10 gets with developers. One must also remember that RIM caters to the entire global market which has many different and diverse needs. What may seem like a waste of time in North America may be ideal in Africa, Asia, South America and the Caribbean, where most networks are not as technologically advanced. I should know, I live in Barbados where we have HSPA+ but not LTE.
