There’s no doubt that RIM is always looking for new design concepts – after all, what manufacturer isn’t? Though the issue has been mentioned numerous times, it came back to the spotlight this week, thanks to Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu. According to Wu, the touchscreen slider has entered the prototype stage and is slated for a 2010 release. Known as the “Pluto” 9900 (which we’ve heard about over the past few months), Wu says that it’s “the best of both worlds.”
Although RIM’s business strategy is historically conservative, I like this design. Quite different, and a needed addition to the lineup!
