Rumor has it BlackBerry has been working on a tablet of their own. According to Bloomberg, the BlackPad will be released in November this year. The device has a 9.7-inch screen, just like the iPad. It also comes with wi-Fi and Bleutooth and is able to connect with the BlackBerry to use its internet-function. The tablet computer does not come with 3G-function.
Bloomberg says their sources connected to the plans of the company. RIM, the BlackBerry manufacturer, recently acquired the domain BlackPad.com. Further details are not yet available. It’s also not clear if the BlackPad will run BlackBerry OS 6. The price will be somewhere near the price of the iPad at $499. RIM plans a press conference next week, maybe they’ll release some more info then.
