Touchscreen Blackberry?

Here’s a Blackberry rumor to drool over: supposedly, an touchscreen, iPhone-like Blackberry line is coming in 2008. According to the rumor, the Blackberry 9000 series will be a touch-screen device with a small form factor. Unlike traditional Blackberrys, the 9000 series won’t have the half-screen/half-keyboard look. What it will have, however, is an upgraded multimedia system, which means it should have good mp3 and video capabilities, especially if it’s going to compete with the iPhone. The 9000 series will also be 3G; that would be a killer feature since the iPhone only gets good speed when it’s on wi-fi. And of course, the 9000 series is still a Blackberry, so push email will remain standard. (picture is wishful thinking only)
