BlackBerry PlayBook

 RIM’s foray into the tablet world. They have announced it, they have shown it running Adobe’s Flash and they have revealed 3 different models however, they have yet to give their much anticipated device a concrete release date other than to say it will be out sometime in early 2011. RIM needs to get back into the game in a major way, BlackBerry 6 and the Torch don’t count, and the PlayBook very well could be the device to bring them back to relevance.

Verizon’s LTE phones

 none of which have been announced yet.  Big Red will be rolling out their 4G LTE service in over 30 U.S. cities by the end of the year yet that haven’t announced any mobile devices that will be supported by the new network. One them could be the gorgeous HTC Incredible HD, but other than that rumor, there isn’t much out there. We should know more about these devices by the end of January.

Mintpass’ tablet

 a dual screen, dual booting device that will be able to run both Android and Windows 7. The two screens can either fold up or fold out making it sort of a cross between a tablet and a laptop. Also of note, the screens can be used in unison or separately. Mintpass is hoping to get it out next year, they still need to find a manufacturer for it. Let’s hope it comes sooner rather than later, eh?

Apple’s iPhone 5

 which oddly enough isn’t the most anticipated iPhone of 2010. Much like the second-gen iPad, details are hard to come by although reports indicate it has a different form factor from the iPhone 4. In fact, it’s said to have a different design than any of the iPhones currently on the market. It also might employ Near Field Communication (NFC) to support mobile computing. Expect it to show up on a bar stool in Redwood City and on camera in Vietnam soon.

The PlayStation Phone

 a device that as of right now only exists in leaked photographs and rumored specs. Sony Ericsson is said to be working on a device,codename Zeus, that will apparently be part PSP and part Android Gingerbread powered smartphone. While the debate wages on as to whether or not the device is too late to market , it’s hard to deny that the device is one of the most anticipated releases of the upcoming year.
