According to the Wall Street Journal, the tablet will make its debut at the conference, which is being held at the San Francisco Marriot between September 27th and 30th.

They also confirm rumours that the tablet will use feature a new OS, custom built by QNX, whose technology can currently be found in BMW vehicles. They go on to add that QNX’s platform will eventually replace BlackBerry OS across RIM’s range of devices.

We can expect the upcoming Blackberry tablet to feature a 7 inch display, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity and strong messaging and e-mail software. It is also suggested however, that 3G connectivity will only be gained if the handset is tethered with a Blackberry smartphone.

The first is expected to be released in November with a $499 price-tag (approx £320).
