Blackberry co-CEO Jim Balsillie, he of recent infamy, has confirmed rumors of a new generation of Blackberry Storms.  He told investors “We see this very large and untapped consumer market,” though whether the “untapped market” is people who thought the original Storm would work right remains unclear.

Blackberry-makers Research In Motion are doing well despite the recession, seeing an 84% rise in revenue over the last quarter – a quarter where most communications companies watched their profits re-enact most of the end of Hamlet.  The second Storm’s features are unknown, but as always, rumors abound.
