| BlackPad for November ? | |||||
| By Shaun Zelber, August 2nd, 2010 :: Geek & Tech, OS & Handsets | |||||
Bloomberg is now reporting that Research in Motion (RIM) will be launching their Blackberry/iPad tablet PC in November. There have been a lot of previous rumours that the RIM Tablet PC will be called the BlackPad. All of these rumours are because RIM registered the domain name Blackpad.com very recently. Anyways, sourcing are now saying that this iPad competitor from RIM will be launching in November. Of course every tablet PC will be directly compared to the iPad, but with Microsoft about to launch into the same market, it all seems to be getting a little crowded. There are few details on the BlackPad apart from the size of the screen 9.7-inch screen (identical to the iPad) and that it can be tethered to a BlackBerry phone so that it can access the Internet. Pricing is similar to the iPad.

Wi-Fi would allow the blackpad device to connect to the Internet anywhere the wireless technology is available.
