New BlackBerry PlayBook to be Launched This Year

New BlackBerry PlayBook to be Launched This Year
Source: Daily Mobile - March 19th, 2013 
BlackBerry is looking to make a comeback in the mobile device area but it seems that is not the only area they are looking to start anew in. Even though BlackBerry's CEO said Tablets are a "very difficult business" and he alluded to the fact that they wouldn't be diving back into those waters again it seems that they will be. Director of product management at BlackBerry Mike Al Mefleh has stated that:
"We have a very clear road map... We are developing an all new NoteSmartly app for the Playbook, that will be released in time for the launch of the new BlackBerry PlayBook."
He stated this at BlackBerry User's Forum in Dubai last weekend. Not only did he confirm that a new tablet will coming out this year but also that six new BlackBerry 10 devices will be coming out this year. While it's not clear if the Z10 and Q10 are included in that list or not it's good to know there is at least four new BlackBerry devices coming.
"This year" was the only time table set for these new devices however I have to assume a couple will come out this summer and the rest in the 4th Qtr for the holiday season.
