According to the WSJ, RIM is set to unveil their iPad competitor next week, during a developer's conference in California.
Nicknamed the "BlackPad," the tablet should be released during the Q4.
The tablet will have a 7-inch screen, two built-in cameras, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G access when connected to a BlackBerry smartphone.
Perhaps more notably is the notion that RIM is tossing out its BlackBerry OS in favor of a completely new and unknown OS built by QNX Software, the software company purchased by RIM earlier this year.
QNX has created operating systems since the 1980s.
Eventually, RIM is expected to transition all their BlackBerry devices to the new QNX OS.
