Thanks to a leaked roadmap, it appears that BlackBerry is working on a new tablet and a phablet, as well.
The map shows off this quarter's Z10 and Q10 smartphones, but also shows off a tablet slated for the Q3/Q4 and a phablet dubbed the U10, set for the Q4 2013 or Q1 2014.
Additionally, there appears to be a large smartphone device that has a full QWERTY keypad, as well, but that is way off in the Q2 2014.
BlackBerry's last attempt at a tablet was a complete failure, and the company eventually had to take a $500 million write-down on excess inventory that had to be liquidated at prices $300-$400 lower than the MSRP.
