A while ago, there is a reported on a rumor of a BlackBerry watch. Confirmation of that rumor was at CES 2010 as Allerta from Canada had it on display.

Actually, it was more of a “dummy model”, but this will give you an idea of what the BlackBerry watch will look like with its metal body, leather band, and I’ve heard that the first 1,000 will be custom milled on a CNC router. When the BlackBerry watch does release it will support text messages, caller ID, emails, and BlackBerry Messenger Services.

We don’t have a price or a shipping date for this, so just sit back and be patient for this guy.

Dell made quite a splash at CES 2010 with the Mini 3 tablet, also officially titled the Streak.

There is very little known about the 5-inch tablet, and we don’t even have a name, official or otherwise. However, here is a hands-on shot of the keyboard from my source if you are interested. As you can see, it has a number pad on, and it does run off of Android 1.6. Something tells me Dell will take its sweet time developing this 5-inch tablet, so let them.

You may have noticed that I mentioned SDXC cards, and Panasonic announced a pair of those, as well. These super fast (Class 10), high capacity cards come in 48 and 64 gigabyte sizes, and they’re priced at $449 and $599, respectively (ouch). They’ll start shipping next month.
