The Word On The Upcoming BlackBerry Tablet

Have you been wondering about the BlackBerry tablet device you have been hearing about lately? BGR shared exclusive information gathered from multiple sources. The Blackberry tablet is 8.9” and will be strictly a “companion” device. If you are wondering what it is all about, take a look at the Palm Foleo. The BlackBerry tablet will not have any cellular networking built in, and will rely on either a Bluetooth connection to your BlackBerry or the built-in Wi-Fi radio. Additionally, we are hearing the tablet is said to be released in December, but the team working on the project is trying to get it out to the marketplace sooner than that. The device is focused around multimedia usage, things such as e-books, emailing, web browsing, photo viewing. To be honest, as a complementary device that is coming from RIM, we aren’t sure why they are trying here. Rumor also has it that RIM was working on a monochrome version of a tablet device before the iPad was announced. Basically RIM was, at least one time, trying to build a Kindle competitor. The new device seems to have its fair share of issues though as many of the RIM employees have voiced frustration over the initiative. Time will tell how RIM’s tablet turns out to be.
