BlackBerry App World seemed to be a huge mystery on the BlackBerry PlayBook as RIM never showed it off at any events, and stopped folks from actually browsing through it in the past.  BBNews.pl put up a video today demoing BlackBerry App World at last on the PlayBook.  Let us know what you think!

Another spec sheet has surfaced, this time it’s for the BlackBerry Touch Monza/Monaco.  We got to see some leaked images of this one before, and recently the official tutorial images from its leaked OS 6.1.  A lot of these specs were rumored already so there’s not much big news here.  It’s nice to see that RIM hasn’t killed off SureType and continues to support it with the BlackBerry Touch as well.

So I guess that’s what the BlackBerry Curve Touch is.  At one point, the Curve Touch was a confusing device where we didn’t really know what to expect from it.  Some even said it would be a full on touchscreen device only, and that didn’t seem to make much sense.  So the BlackBerry Curve Touch holds the codename “Orlando” for the time being, and doesn’t look so bad.

N4BB who leaked out the image made a good point that the Orlando was not mentioned in the leaked roadmap.  Also, there’s not telling if this will get the full on OS 6.1, or the Lite edition we saw for the Sedona.

And the leaks just continue.  Now we see the BlackBerry Torch 2 9810 get a spec sheet leaked out.  We saw a first set of live images surface earlier this afternoon, then later on saw more confirming a 9810 model number.  It’s another one of those cases where we already knew the specs as they were leaked once before.  This just confirms it for those who had doubts on the processor and such.

We already saw BlackBerry Torch 2 photos today but some more has surfaced from the folks over at Jeruknipis.  The About screen shows up in one of the pictures and we see the BlackBerry Torch 2 carries the model number “9810.”  Also we get a better idea of what the back side looks like with its silver tanning bed looking battery door.  More photos after the jump!

Yesterday we showed you live photos of the BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 which has yet to arrive in our hands.  As we’ve mentioned before, it’s expected to be officially announced at BlackBerry World next month.  N4BB put out the full specification sheet for the BlackBerry Bold Touch, letting you know about all it’s features as you can see above.

We’ve seen Kobo eBook reader for PlayBook since the very first demo back at DEVCON 2010.  I know this is nothing crazy, but RIM had up a quick 20 second demo on their site you can check out if you want to see up close and personal, if you haven’t already.
