Research In Motion Ltd. plans to introduce a touch-screen version of its BlackBerry device, dubbed “Thunder” according to people familiar with the matter, answering the challenge posed by the popularity of Apple Inc.’s iPhone.
The new BlackBerry is among RIM’s strongest moves so far to appeal to the increasing number of consumers opting for multimedia phones, a market that is increasingly turning to touch-screen devices for their ease of use. The iPhone’s sophisticated touch-screen was one feature that made Apple’s device a big hit.
The new BlackBerry is slated for introduction in the third quarter, supposely Verizon will have a lock as it has a “Lifetime” exclusivity. Well keep you posted on all the latest, so stay tuned.
