RIM Announces the PlayBook - 7" BlackBerry Tablet
Jason Tsay
Yes, this is the long rumored 7” BlackBerry tablet that we’ve all been waiting for. At today’s BlackBerry Developer’s Conference, RIM certainly blew some minds away by announcing one of the only serious competitors to Apple’s already massively famous iPad. Specced out with a 1Ghz dual core processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 7” 1024 x 600 capacitive display, dual HD cameras (3 megapixel front and 5 megapixel back), along with other competitive specs, this will certainly give Apple a run for their money. BlackBerry Tablet OS lets you multitask and record full 1080p video. Weighing in at under a pound, it certainly packs in a lot of goodies including a pretty attractive interface quite similar in appearance to Palm’s WebOS. Expect 3G and 4G models in the future while no pricing or availability was announced. Aren’t we all just glad it’s not called the BlackPad?
