BlackBerry OS 7 is Codenamed Project Highlander

BlackBerry OS 7 is Codenamed Project Highlander
New details on BlackBerry OS 7 have been leaked out on the inter-webs. According to ZDNET, the BlackBerry OS 7 would be a hybrid product, taking the best features from BlackBerry OS 6.1 and QNX operating systems. RIM has codenamed the BlackBerry OS 7 Project Highlander.

BerryReview Blog got some details about BlackBerry OS 7 from their source who attended RIM CTO David Yach's internal keynote at RDX Developers Conference.

Though RIM is optimistic about the BlackBerry OS 6.1, the company is struggling to withhold the features consumers love. Of course, we'll get to see the modern day functionalities like the Social Network integrations, modern App Store, BlackBerry Protect App for security and BlackBerry Internet Service that will enable single sign-on. The company is planning to extend the BlackBerry OS 7.0 to the PlayBook as well. The BlackBerry OS 7.0 is still in its early stages and is scheduled for release in 2012 instead of Christmas this year, as rumored earlier.

The BlackBerry OS 7.0 plan appears very similar to what Google is going to do with Android 2.4 update which will have best features of smartphone version - Gingerbread and also the tablet versions - Honeycomb.
