Can it be? Research In Motion is apparently looking to make 2.5 Million BlackBerry Tablets by the end of the year according to financial analyst Jeffrey Fidacaro of Susquehanna Research. While it is expected that RIM will possibility make an announcement about the BlackBerry Tablet next week during the BlackBerry Developers Conference in San Francisco the only details we have heard is that it will include a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth, multiple cameras, and maybe GPS.

In an interesting development that I noted in a previous article saying that the BlackBerry Tablet by Research in Motion may in fact be making an appearance this year. It appears that the BlackBerry Tablet (aka BlackPad) may be making and appearance next week in San Francisco at the BlackBerry Developers Conference according to an article that has been posted on the Wall Street Journal’s website. The BlackBerry Tablet is said to be available sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. In addition details of the Tablets new operating will be unveiled as well.

A possible photo of a new BlackBerry device which some have called it a Storm3 has been floating around the past few days. BerryReview posted a picture the other day of a possible BlackBerry Storm3. Some of the information they have says it will have a 3.7 inch screen and the device will have 8Gb of internal memory. If you notice from the picture the device is also sporting a trackpad.
So Storm3 or not?

It appears that Research In Motion has filed a trademark for the name ‘SurfBook’ back in early August. So far there appears to be no patents that I can find under the same name filed by RIM. RIM does seem to have a habit of grabbing names and sorting it all out later to see what best fits their marketing strategy.
Remember back when everyone was buzzing about the name ‘BlackPad’. Whatever the name of the new BlackBerry Tablet will end up being, I am starting to have doubts that it will even be released by the end of the year as some have speculated. We should have seen some sort of solid details leak out by now if they were going to launch the device by years end. So we will just have to wait a bit longer and see if either of the names tossed out there stick and for more details to emerge.
What are your thoughts on the name ‘SurfBook’?

GizmoFusion.com is reporting that the BlackBerry Storm3 release date may be pushed back some because of the Verizon’s LTE launch. There are two rumored launch dates being floated around. One being May 2011 around the time of the RIM’s annual WES conference, and the other date is November 2011. Why the two dates? Apparently it all depends on how well Verizon’s LTE roll out goes.
