It looks like the rumors were wrong and the BlackBerry Tablet is called the Playbook & not the BlackPad. The spec sheet looks great with Cortex A9, 1GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 7-inch display, 16GB of RAM, 1080p HDMI video and will have HDMI and USB ports, micro usb and a front and rear HD camera configuration.  Size wise its 7.6″ x 5.1″ x 0.4″ and 9.7 mm thick. The tablet will also have OpenGL and POSIX support which seemed to have the developers cheering. Shantanu Narayen CEO of Adobe also got on stage to discuss the support that Adobe was giving to provide consumers with the full web experience.


Software wise it looks like there is a webOS-like app switching, an e-reader component, full document editing, pairing with BlackBerry phones and DLNA media streaming support .  It runs a new user interface developed by QNX software. We caught the demo video as well as the walk through during the BlackBerry DevCon 2010. When is this tablet coming to market? Well they have indicated that it is going to released early 2011, so we’ll cross our fingers for CES or (more likely) Mobile World Congress.

    they really ripped off webOS multitasking big time, i knew somebody would eventually as it really is a beautiful experience & much better than using icons.

    i still have little faith in BB, i have much higher anticipation from webOS, Android, iOS.

    this thing will be leveraged against the BB phone for enterprise use & will be quickly forgotten next year when HP, Apple, Google all announce much more exciting tablets.

    I would also rather wait for Adam, Even after all the delays it has gone through, it is still the God of tablets.
    BB’s own custom OS can’t be better than even froyo

    Another custom mobile OS. This would only make sense if it was somehow compatible with an other large platform.

    For example, if it supported Xorg and was able to run full Linux applications (Gtk, Qt4) like OpenOffice. Now, that would be interesting.

    WebOS and MeeGo can do that so you can expect full Linux applications running on them since either the device manufacturer’s team or an enthusiast can easily port it.

    POSIX compatibility alone means very little.

    It might be another custom OS, but its compatible with a large installed base of business users. The Playbook stands a chance if it can prove value to companies who already have invested in exchange servers & data plans.

    I just did a post on health care as the first business enterprise that will most likely adopt the Playbook on mass.

    Nice Fn music video. Could you post a tech video next time. I’m actually interested in the device not music.
