Caught my atention because i know there's a android tablet and windows tablet trying to beat the iPad.
Here's the info:
BlackPad,(Blackberry tablet) is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of this year. It will feature a seven-inch touch screen and one or two built-in cameras, they said.
they said,It will have Bluetooth and broadband connections but will only be able to connect to cellular networks through a BlackBerry smartphone, these people said. Since the tablet won't be sold with a cellular service, it's not clear which carriers or retailers will sell the device.
RIM bought QNX, a maker of operating systems used in everything from cars to nuclear reactors, earlier this year, in what industry watchers said was a bid to replace software criticized as slow and buggy.
The RIM tablet is being manufactured by Quanta Computer Inc. of Taiwan, and will run on chips from Santa Clara, Calif.-based Marvell Technology Group Inc., according to people familiar with the tablet's manufacturing.
Still, RIM's tablet will face stiff competition in an increasingly
crowded market. The launch of Apple's iPad in April sparked a rush
to build similar devices by a raft of firms from Korean electronics
giant Samsung Electronics Co. to Taiwan's Acer Inc.
and Cisco Systems Inc. and Dell Inc. of the U.S. Many of those
competing tablets will run Android, meaning RIM's new operating
system will go head-to-head with Apple and Google offerings in tablets as well.
