RIM BlackBerry to rival iPhone?

According to NY times, RIM is developing a new iPhone killer, a fully touchscreen BlackBerry smartphone.

After the release of Pearl and Curve series, BlackBerries entered the consumer orientated phone market, and started offering features like in-built camera, memory card slot, multimedia player and headphone jack.

However, those who use their handset for entertainment and web browsing will surely prefer the iPhone. RIM wants to change that. It will be a tough fight, but chances to beat the Apple's handset are quite big.

We'll keep watching the developments...
