Rumor: BlackBerry Storm 2 to launch with MiFi like capability

Assuming we can believe this latest leaked screenshot, then it looks like we are going to see the Blackberry Storm 2 launch with MiFi capabilities. The details are coming courtesy of a screen capture from the Verizon Infomanager system and appear to show that the “Totally New Storm2″ will be launching on October 21 and featuring the capability that many have come to love in the MiFi.

Unfortunately, this little detail, despite being exciting is nothing more than a capture from an internal Verizon system, which means that despite good intentions and the real possibility — things could change or simply be entirely inaccurate.

Anyway time will tell on this one, but assuming for a minute that it is real and the Storm 2 will also feature an internal MiFi, this could be something to watch. Maybe not enough to convince anyone to purchase a BlackBerry, but maybe enough to convince other manufacturers that this is a feature that many would want. To me it seems a logical step moving past regular tethering functionality, of course many smartphones do not truly allow you to tether now.
