Blackberry Blackpad - Playbook

Research In Motion, maker of the Blackberry smartphone, are rumored to be adding a tablet device to their hi tech gadgets.
Rumored to be named the "Blackpad", the device will compete directly with Apple's iPad and will feature Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology. RIM acquired the domain name for blackpad.com
Update: Well, maybe they will be using that name for something else. RIM has released their tablet and it's called the "Playbook". It competes in the rapidly growing market for hi tech gadgets that represents the gap between smartphones and notebook computers.
Powered by a 1Ghz Cortex-A9 dual core processor with 1GB of RAM, this 7-inch device has a 1024 x 600 resolution touchscreen interface that goes to the edge of the device.
The Playbook has all kinds of options and features available depending on the direction you swipe the screen. There are two cameras - front and back, and it can play full HD 1080p videos.
The ease of downloading, finding apps, managing music, videos, gaming and browsing the web, will make this device a strong competitor to the iPad.
