Recently we heard that RIM is gearing up for a release of BlackBerry 7 as opposed to the previously announced 6.1. RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie confirmed that the number change is in fact true.
According to Balsillie the change in number comes because of how much is included in the update. It seems that there was so much being updated in the OS that RIM felt the need to add the extra 0.9 to make it a full version number increase. Rumors of the update have more multitouch in the OS, as well as hardware acceleration with OpenGL. The hardware acceleration would be both on the OS and in 3D games, so both should run smoother and faster (as far as graphics go, at least). There’s also mention of voice controls, and more homescreen customization.
If those rumors prove true, the version number increase does make sense. It will also make it easier for users to understand what version their phones can and can’t run. Explaining that an older phone can’t use 6.1 would seem arbitrary, while explaining why they’re still on 6 instead of 7 should be a bit easier. It’ll also make it easier to advertise the phones that run the new OS, especially considering BlackBerry OS version numbers can be quite long.
We should hear more about BlackBerry 7 and the rumored BlackBerry Bold Touch (said to be the first phone to run the new OS) next week at BlackBerry World in Orlando.

Don't blame CEO, they want RIM win.
RIM has strange culture and self distruct political environment.
In RIM if a new hired person figure out major problem and introduce efficient approach, both manager and his buddy group member will proof their wrong approach works. just like someone point out driving a car is right way, pushing a car is wrong way, then both manager and his buddy group member will hate you, and proof that 3 person can also move the car by pushing it. cheating email will be sent to some vice president, saying like: see, the car moving, pushing a car is a natural part of the process, in order to deny new hired contribution of introducing skill of drive a car, they have to deny merit of driving a car.
It is very strange company culture and strange company political environment, it promote stealing and cheating skill. RIM’s management may be a typical instance in MBA course.
This culture deny or steal hardworking team members’ contribution/innovation, generate strange political environment, destroy RIM.
So don't blame CEO, some of their VPs and VPs' expert generate terrible culture and self destruct political environment.
