RIM co-CEO Jim Ballsillie confirmed that the company is currently engineering a follow up to the Storm touch-based BlackBerry.

He also said, "we have next-generation devices with [touch] and the whole roadmap." Balsillie did not provide any specific details, nor did he say when such a product would reach market.
