LEAK: BLACKBERRY LONDON

The Verge posted a picture of a new Blackberry device codenamed London. According to sources close to RIM this is a real product that will be rolling out in Q3 of 2012. The London is rumored to be replacing the Colt, which was to be the first QNX based device from RIM. It has been said that RIM is having problems getting BBM and BES working on the new BBX devices, which is what is holding up the launch of London.

RIM'S BBM MUSIC NOW AVAILABLE IN US, CANADA AND AUSTRALIA

Research In Motion announced on Wednesday that its BBM Music service has launched in the United States, Canada and Australia. To begin, users can opt to sign up for a BBM Music Premium membership, which will allow them to access music and share with friends on their BBM contact lists. BBM Music Premium members will be able to select 50 initial songs from a library of millions. Members will then be able to view and play the 50 songs selected by other BBM Music Premium members in their contact list. A premium membership costs $4.99 per month after a free two-month trial. The free version of BBM Music only allows users to listen to 30-second previews of each song. RIM said the application is available for download from the BlackBerry App World.

RUMOR: BLACKBERRY MUSIC SERVICE TO COST $5 PER MONTH FOR 50 SONGS

According to All Things D the rumored Blackberry Music Service (BBM), that we reported on earlier this week, will cost $5/month for access to 50 songs. The BBM will run on top of the messenger service. Earlier reports have RIM in discussions with the big music houses and reportedly have already secured a deal with at least one of them.

The BBM is seen as a way for RIM to break out of the enterprise market, which they at one time dominated but in recent years have seen the iPhone and Android overtaking it, and into the consumer market.

RIM TO INCLUDE FOURSQUARE SUPPORT TO BBM

During the BlackBerry World Keynote in Orlando this morning, Research In Motion announced that it is working with foursquare to include support for the social-network in an upcoming version of BlackBerry Messenger.

Users will be able to share their location information as their BBM status, but RIM execs didn’t go into much detail on how check-ins will work or just how feature rich the implementation will be. The native foursquare client, for example, allows users to find nearby deals, compete with friends for check-in points, and more.

RIM did not say when the client would make its debut, although we suspect it will be around the launch of its BlackBerry 7 powered Bold 9900, which will occur later this summer.
