If you've been itching for an OS update on your BlackBerry, you're not alone - so has every other BlackBerry owner. The good news is you won't have to wait long until there's an update, and in the meantime, Boy Genius Report (BGR) has the full scoop on the upcoming OS, as well as a bunch of pics.

According to BGR's source over at AT&T, BlackBerry OS 6.0 will ship with a new browser that will include tab switching, new favorites, and multitouch. It looks pretty slick, though there's no word on how many tabs you'll be able to have open at any given time.The media player is also getting a makeover, making it easier to navigate through album artwork, among other things.

Getting back to the multitasking, BGR says this is being implemented system wide, not just in the browser. That means you'll be able to pinch to zoom your photos, take advantage of multitouch apps, and more. There's also system wide kinetic scrolling with rubberbanding, so scrolling should be buttery smooth.

BGR says they're 100 percent positive the new OS will be in the market in June or July of this year. Get the full scoop here.
