BlackBerry 10 Product Roadmap gives insight into RIM's future

 

BlackBerryOS.com has revealed a slide that seems to feature Research In Motion's product roadmap for 2012 to 2014. RIM announced last week that it would not meet its original deadline to release the first BlackBerry 10 devices in 2012 because of delays in completing the software.

 From what we can see here, two BB10 handsets,  the QWERTY keyboard sporting "Nevada" and the "London"handsets as well as the updated 4G-LTE PlayBook previously reported here. It is interesting to see that RIM also has what looks like a 10-inch tablet in the works.

What is evident is that RIM is really cutting down on their product line, which could make a difference in how they market their new devices.
