RIM’s Jim Balsillie: “We’re not done yet” and touchscreen slide-out QWERTY coming soon?

The Globe & Mail published an article with classic quotes from RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie: “Everybody wants to dance with us.” and “Just watch what you’re going to see in the autumn of 2008. I think we’ve given people a little peek-a-boo on all that. We feel like there was a lot of hype over the summer relating to different things and we just kind of kept our powder dry… we’re not done yet.”

The article goes on to speak about a new product called “Storm” that they will be releasing that’s a touchscreen with a slide-out QWERTY keypad. However, remember we posted these articles 1 & 2 where RIM did patent such a device. Could the article be true?
