RIM Working On Dual-Core QNX-Powered BlackBerrys, Probably Won't Hit the Market Until Quad-Core Phones Exist

RIM is obviously deep into testing in many different products that they should have ready for this year - likely including a new Bold, Curve, and PlayBook. They're also reaching a bit into their future as well because they're apparently testing out dual-core QNX-powered BlackBerrys too - at least that's what RIM's Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis has said. Unfortunately, these won't be hitting the market anytime soon because current dual-core CPUs use too much battery life, which seems true. RIM is working on a way where they can keep their device's battery life up while being speed-hungry as well.
