    It might be just a Blackberrychech rumor. Or just a "Lost in Translation" joke, as I treat it in my Fine Oils blog.

    palec is an inch (prst = finger?), so they are talking about a 10-inch prototype. Thanks for the news, but it's old.

    Edit: Just run the link through Google Translate.

    palec (палец) is "finger" in Russian. Hence the joke.

    Well, the Russian word for an inch is дюйм, which is derived from a word that means a thumb.

    I just heard from a corporate sales rep at Rogers that RIM is releasing a 10 inch version of the Playbook in September. He actually advised someone against getting the current Playbook because he's convinced a 10 inch one is coming out in Sept.

    There is definately a 10 inch prototype, folks have seen it, BUT this does not mean that it is certain to come to market.

    Ohhh. I didn't think so. If it was ready for a September launch, there would be quite a bit of news on the tech blogs and even from NYT; IMO.

    I decided that it would be juvenile of me to ask the obvious.
