In an interview with Laptop Magazine, RIM’s Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis hinted at the possibility of more touchscreen BlackBerrys.
Here are some highlights from the interview:
- Despite claims that the Storm was rushed to market, Lazaridis says the Storm was thoroughly tested. At the same time, he stressed that this was RIM’s first touch product. (There have been reports that a Storm sequel will feature a new touchscreen interface and Wi-Fi, but Lazaridis wouldn’t comment on future devices.)
- BlackBerry’s push technology is far superior to its competitors (ahem, iPhone), and its software is tailor-made for true multitasking without sacrificing battery life.
- RIM is working to improve its browser so it can deliver the full Web experience on more devices.
- BlackBerry App World is working to offer carrier billing, as opposed to just PayPal, but there’s no ETA.
