Next week, Research In Motion’s answer to the iPad is likely to be unveiled. It isn’t an arbitrary time frame though. From September 27-30 is RIM’s BlackBerry Developer Conference – DevCon, which is scheduled to take place in San Francisco, California.

According to the Wall Street Journal, RIM will see its best opportunity to unveil the tablet, even if the product isn’t ready for mass production. Those that have information are telling WSJ that the “Blackpad” will serve up a “seven-inch touch screen and one or two built-in cameras.” A new OS developed by QNX will bump the BlackBerry 6 operating system out of the picture. The device also plans to deliver Bluetooth broadband, and tethering with a BlackBerry smartphone.

The RIM tablet will likely be manufactured by Quanta Computer Inc. of Taiwan and based on the information obtained by the publication, it will run on chips from Santa Clara, California-based Marvell Technology Group Inc. Naturally, RIM, similar to Apple won’t comment on rumors ahead of the BlackBerry Developer Conference. But all signs (since July) have been pointing to a fall unveiling of the “Blackpad” and potentially a November market introduction.
