A recently
leaked roadmap from Research In Motion revealed that the company is expected to
unveil its BlackBerry 10 phones next year.
The roadmap
also revealed that the company is set to release a number of new products by
2013 that RIM intends to facilitate its recovery. The roadmap showed that the
4G model of the BlackBerry PlayBook may be released by winter prior to the
release of the first set of BlackBerry 10 phones near the start of 2013.
Among the
BlackBerry 10 phones that RIM is expected to unveil are the BlackBerry London,
which will be the first touchscreen phone of the company, and the BlackBerry
Nevada, which will feature a physical keyboard. The release of these upcoming
BlackBerry 10 phones were postponed due to some issues facing the company in
the integration of some features into the latest operating system.
The
BlackBerry London may be introduced by the company in the first quarter if the
plans will remain unchanged. Europe will be the first market where these
upcoming BlackBerry 10 phones will be released in before they will be offered
in the North American market.
In addition
to the two BlackBerry 10 phones, RIM is also expected to unveil the Blackforest
from between July to September of next year. The icons suggest that the
upcoming device will be bigger compared to the existing model of the BlackBerry
PlayBook.
The roadmap
also shows two other devices that were dubbed as Naples and Nashville although
no images of the two devices were shown.
RIM has
experienced a drop in its share of the market which resulted to the delay in
the release of its latest operating system. It remains uncertain if the
upcoming bigger model of the BlackBerry PlayBook and the BlackBerry 10 phone
will allow the company to gradually recover in the market that is currently
dominated by Apple and Android devices.
