HD BlackBerry Tablet

Added by Nigel Shelbourne on September 29, 2010

Featuring a front and rear High Definition camera with HDMI video output and Bluetooth, as well as microHDMI and microUSB, powered by a 1 GHz dual-core processor and 1 GB of RAM, this tablet from BlackBerry could take the place of those offered by Apple.

Unlike iPad, this gadget features a 7-inch screen, Flash-capable video and a front and rear high-definition camera.

As for size, it has a thickness of only 9.7 mm and a weight of 0.9 pounds.

Planned to be released in 2011, this product will be connecting to the internet only via Wi-Fi, but RIM plans to offer 3G and 4G models in the future.

The operating system won’t be the same as  BlackBerry 6, Instead, it is build around QNX Software Systems,wich RIMM acquired earlier this year.

The gadget is released at a critical time for RIM because of it’s predecessor,BlackBerry Torch, which failed to make it through the smartphone market. Further details will be available after it’s release in 2011.

As we know so far,the PlayBook will offer “just a great gaming experience”.

The Canadian company, Research In Motion, has been developing the Blackberry phone since 1996.

It commands around 21% of the world market for smartphone use.
