According to sources cited by the Wall Street Journal, Research In Motion is currently testing a number of new devices, including at least one phone which has both a touch screen and a slide-out keyboard. The Journal's sources said of the device that it is similar to the iPhone, and supports swiping from screen to screen, pinch-to-zoom features, and a landscape software QWERTY keyboard. It will also have customizable home screens, which users can populate with the applications of their choosing. The phone also has a universal search feature, which will let users search for content or information on the device, the web, and even social networking sites. It will include the latest browser from RIM, which will be based on Apple's WebKit. The Journal's sources say that the browser is much faster than the current BlackBerry browser, and will support multiple open pages at a time. The phone will have 4GB of on-board storage and a five megapixel camera. The device in question runs BlackBerry 6, RIM's newest operating system that it plans to launch at some point later this year.

Palm came out with WebOS over a year ago...

Gosh!!! I don't how people get the idea that the internet is somehow "socializing".
Similar to the iPhone....how?
I swear these rags just put iPhone in there just to garner headlines. If it has the same features as every other phone, then I think it's safe to leave iPhone out of the article.
People mention the iphone because its an easy frame of reference. You have to remember, some of these articles are written for people that arent techies. The iphone gives people an easy comparrison point.
Iphone is like "kleenex" or "qtip" they're the names that people place with the product type, even if they only describe one brand.
In this case, Capacitive touch screen smartphones.
