It's possible. Apple has barred Apple store employees from taking a vacation the last week of this month and the first two weeks of next month, so they definitely have something coming out. I think it'll be the VZW iPhone 4, with the iPad 2 being announced sometime before the PlayBook gets released and then both tablets getting released within a 3 week period. Of course the iPad 2 will overshadow the slightly better (spec wise) PlayBook, though.
What about an iPhone 4G for VZW? That would be newsworthy for both companies.
Here's a response from a rep at Verizon which I sent an email to...
Thank you for contacting Verizon Wireless through our website. My name is Tasha, and I am happy to assist you regarding available Blackberry devices. I can certainly understand your concern with being able to purchase a new Blackberry as Blackberry is a great device.

Unfortunately, we do not have any information on the release of a new Blackberry device. I apologize for any inconvenience this may present.

Generally, we launched 3-4 Blackberry devices a year. last year we launched 4 new Blackberry devices. Normally, there is a new device for each quarter or every other quarter. Please be assured, we have not terminated our contract with RIM as Blackberry is one of our top sellers.

Didn't the last verizon BB come out in May/June 2010? Still waiting for our 3rd quarter 2010 device...
I was told this morning by my company's IT dept. that the storm3 is definitely still coming out. Our VZW rep said that the date keeps getting pushed. As of today, the rep said that it would be available to order on the 11th.
