Thanks to Verizon's new online catalog we may have a peek into the future of what the rocky relationship will be for RIM devices. In the catalog, the PlayBook is featured as 'Coming Soon', which brings surprising news as many were skeptic about Verizon selling the tablet in their stores. The Bold 9650 and the Curve 3G 9330 are labeled as 'While supplies last' - which suggests that Verizon may be getting rid of those hand-held devices. We hope this doesn't happen without adding a few devices to the inventory. Back in February we posted a video in which the upcoming BlackBerry Touch 9850 was depicted with a Verizon brand on the back cover. At least it seems for now that Verizon will have a hand in the new hand-held devices set to release this year, but only time will tell which ones they choose.

If you use Twitter then you most likely received the news of Osama Bin Laden's death before the US President was able to broadcast what happened.

Interestingly, our keen eyes here at BlackBerryOS noticed the tweet came from a BlackBerry - as shown in the image above. Keith Urbahn, the Chief of Staff for former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, tweeted from his BlackBerry:

Just goes to show, if you want the news first, just keep an eye on your BlackBerry.

You may remember during MWC 2011 RIM announced that BlackBerry Messenger 6.0 would be getting some new features. One of these features was the ability for 3rd party developers to integrate BBM into games, media, ect. The first to offer the integration is Telemap, thanks to the developer tools being launched last month. Telemap is a GPS service provider that powers apps from Orange, Telefonica, SFR, and other wireless carriers. The new function simply allows users to request and confirm location sharing through BBM, after which you can see where your contact is in Telmap and get turn-by-turn navigation directions to them. In addition to getting social on BlackBerry, Telmap has also recently added Facebook and Twitter functions to their Android GPS app. It's going to be interesting to see how far BBM integration will go for developers. And as always, we'll keep you updated on the latest.

Yesterday we posted a rumor that BlackBerry OS 6.1 would become known as BlackBerry OS 7. That rumor now becomes fact as RIM co-CEO, Jim Balsillie has confirmed that OS 6.1 will be now known as OS 7 during a Q&A Investors Call. His reasons are that 'OS 7' includes liquid graphics, magnetometer, and more, which gives the OS enough differences from OS 6. Therefore, labeling the new OS only .1 away is far too minuscule. They concluded that BlackBerry World attendees will not be let down on the coming announcements and clarification.

The negative about this report is that many users are speculating on whether their newly bought devices that run the current OS 6 will be getting the update to OS 7. Any thoughts to this?
