You can not help but to talk about these rumors that RIM is planning and in process of developing a tablet PC that will release at the end of year (in holiday season, December). Boy Genius Report initiated the rumor telling people that RIM is developing a tablet that will come out later this year with 8.9″ screen.
BGR claimed that their sources at RIM say that the tablet will focus on multimedia and will not have cellular networking built in so it will rely on WiFi or blue-tooth. More on what this Blackberry Tablet will focus on, think about email, web browsing, e books, photos etc.
CNET has come up with some more information about device saying that the screen size will be 7-inch. More information they quoted from Ashok Kumar, an analyst and managing director at Rodman & Renshaw incldue.
- Front and back facing camera
- Processor from Marvell (Marvell 1GHz Armada 610 processor)
- 16-megapixel image captures, and advanced 3D graphics
From all these leaks, it is clear that RIM is going after Apple’s iPad. All stuff that people are claiming about this tablet PC looks like iPad so it will be interested to see what RIM will come up with. The front and back camera sound good (unless Apple decides to do the same in next generation iPads). One more thing i will like in their tablet (and next generation iPad) is that they should give access to file system so that we can save files and work with them on these devices.
