Research In Motion Co-CEO, Mike Lazaridis has just hit the stage at the All Things D: Dive Into Mobile conference and already he has confirmed to Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher that Research In Motion has plans to offer tablets in different sizes. When questioned regarding the current size of the BlackBerry PlayBook Mike Lazaridis noted, "We’ve got different sizes potentially coming". In addition to the size of the PlayBook being questioned, Lazridis was also questioned when the QNX operating system would be available for BlackBerry smartphones. Mike's reply still leaves us wondering when exactly but gives us an idea of what they are waiting for. Lazaridis stated when Research In Motions moves BlackBerry smartphones to dual core systems; we will then see the QNX operating system arrive and also noted the "next generation of BlackBerry smartphones will be great". We'll have more as the updates continue as well as video as soon as we can but, for now you can view the live blog over at the All things D website.
