RIM's tablet to be revealed in August - called the BlackPad?
Daniel Carey
Before we continue you may want to put your skeptical caps on: According to an unnamed source, RIM’s big tablet is due to be dubbed the “BlackPad” — yeah, we know real original name, right? Nevertheless, according to this unnamed source RIM recently acquired the domain name BlackPad (so as far as speculative rumours go, this one sure looks to be shaping… umm, up rather nicely).
And according to Bloomberg, the unnamed source claimed that the 9.7-inch tablet won’t be revealed / announced until August 3rd (that’s not that far off, so we’ll see if this source is indeed reliable). Still, like previous rumours it’s due to have WiFi and Bluetooth. Now our question for you is: Do you like BlackPad as a name? Oh, and why do tablet makers keep on putting “pad” or “tablet” in their device’s name? — Like get with the times guys.
