Blackberry Tablet for November Release
Source from Bloomberg indicates that Research In Motion Ltd., maker of the BlackBerry smartphones, plans to introduce a tablet form factor device as early as November to compete with the Apple iPad.
The rumored device from RIM could have a 9.7” screen, sporting WiFi and Bluetooth. It needs however, a companion Blackberry Smartphone to connect to the Internet when WiFi hotspot is not present.
With the runaway success of the Apple iPad, major device and software maker are working feverishly to roll out a similar form factor to catch up with the consumer demand and to avoid from falling too far behind as seen in the case of the smartphone space.
This week Steve Ballmer Microsoft CEO also made a statement that his company is working as its job one urgency on a similar form factor solution.
This Tuesday RIM will have a press conference to announce its new Blackberry OS 6.0 and newer smartphones but we do not have confirmation if the company will unveil its tablet.
