Blackberry OS 6.0 Pinned For Summer Release, Upgrades Possible

Straight from the horses mouth, comes the news that the latest incarnation of every suit-totin', email-checkin', business-type's favourite phone OS (that is, BlackBerry OS 6.0) will be released this Summer. During an analyst talk today, RIM co-chief Mike Lazaridis showed off the first official teasers of the new OS. New features will include the previously mentioned WebKit browser -- which will now play a central role in the OS, and the OS will support both trackpad and touchscreen devices, but the juiciest bombshell was the news that older BlackBerries will be able to upgrade , though it wasn't stated how many models will be given the option.
