By now, most folks have heard of BlackBerry Blend. It has leaked out in so many ways now, I lost track. It's in BlackBerry OS builds, presented itself in Power Point presentations, it's even preloaded in the new BlackBerry 10.3 out of box set-up files and the icon is present on official images of the BlackBerry Passport and BlackBerry Classic and still, BlackBerry refuses to confirm its existence outside of a few Enterprise events where folks have seen it behind closed doors or otherwise in private.

We can now add another leak to the list thanks to @DHabkirk Channel: C0001DB0D. What you see above is the app launch screen from BlackBerry Blend Beta loaded up on the BlackBerry Passport. It obviously doesn't show really anything new but it proves, those of us tracking it all this time aren't crazy. Though BlackBerry's lack of any official confirmation is still enough to drive us that way. Not sure what all the fuss is about? Check out the videos, you can skip to around 1:51 on the first one or just watch the whole second one.
