14 DAY TRIAL // Canadian mobile phone maker Research in Motion is reportedly getting ready to bring to the market a new device that would run under the QNX OS, namely the BlackBerry Storm 3.
The latest rumors around the Internet suggest that the yet unannounced smartphone would arrive on shelves in the not too far future with the said software solution on board, and not with the BlackBerry OS, as previously expected.
The QNX OS, in case there are some who did not encountered it before, is the platform that RIM chose to power its first tablet PC, the BlackBerry PlayBook.
When the new device was unveiled, some suggested that the leading smartphone designer would plans moving its entire future handset lineup to the new platform, and it appears that the soon-to-come BlackBerry Storm 3 might be among the first devices to suffer this treatment.
Moreover, rumor has it that the new Strom device won't arrive on shelves with SurePress technology, as its predecessors did.
Not to mention that the new device is expected to include all of the features necessary for running the new QNX OS, including a minimum 1Ghz processor, as well as 8GB of ROM space and 1GB of RAM, a recent article on Gizmo Fusion reads.
At the same time, the upcoming BlackBerry Storm device from RIM is expected to sport a 3.7-inch touchscreen display.
This is not the first time we learn on the near availability of BlackBerry Storm 3, nor when rumors on QNX emerge, though they seem to be gaining more substance as the release date for the new device approaches.
Of course, there are still a wide range of details to be unveiled both on the smartphone and on RIM's plans for the QNX OS.
In the meantime, however, we'll take the info on Storm 3's launch with this platform on board with a grain of salt, though we hope that they pan out in the end.
