A render of a mysterious BlackBerry device was "accidentally" leaked on the RIM's developer website. The device apparently is called Dev Alpha B - a successor to the current Dev Alpha device, used to test out the still unofficial BlackBerry 10 OS. The render was quickly pulled down from the site.A vigilant twitter user by the name of @NerdBoss514 went ahead and asked the guys over at @BlackBerryDev on twitter for some info on the mystery device. He got a response that the Dev Alpha B will be an eventual hardware bump to the current Dev Alpha.
Upon asking a second question about whether the bump will be purely cosmetic or if there would be more major changes he got a second answer. It seems the Dev Alpha B has a slightly different inner layout, the MicroSIM card slot, for one, would change location on the new developer device.
Currently, the Dev Alpha device features a 4.2" 1280 x 768 pixels display, a gig of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot and a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9, or better, chipset inside.
RIM has confirmed that they would be giving away Dev Alpha B devices to developers prior to the BB 10 launch so the more likely time for this to happen is around BlackBerry 10 Jam Americas, an in-house developer event held by BlackBerry that will take place September 25-27 in San Jose, California.
