RIM Rumored To Be Showing BlackBerry 10 on The PlayBook & Motorola Xoom

BB10 Design Guidelines2

When I first heard of this I was skeptical but another source has come up and corroborated parts of the story. BB_unleashed let us know in the forums that RIM is showing partners BlackBerry 10 demos running on the PlayBook for testing purposes. They were showing off multitasking along with a homescreen with six live tiles instead of the BlackBerry 10 smartphones 4 tiles. Supposedly they also presented BlackBerry 10 on a Motorola Xoom to show the licensing possibilities. This was all done for a large developer to get them to consider developing for BlackBerry 10. This is all still in rumorville so take it with a grain of salt but it is promising to hear that RIM already has licensing possibilities worked out for BlackBerry 10. I doubt Motorola will be a partner due to it being acquired by Google but it is cool to hear that it is running on an NVIDIA Tegra processor.

Check out the conversation in the forums for more details. The picture below is super fuzzy but BB_unleashed took it with a BlackBerry Bold with the zoom set all the way up of the PlayBook in portrait mode on the projector. Still its nice to speculate what is happening behind closed doors…
