Blackberry Playbook tablet




Tabletstablets and more tablets. During the annual BlackBerry Developer Conference at Research In Motion (RIM), CEO Mike Lizardis announced that they'll be releasing their own tablet, aptly named the "PlayBook". Joining Lizardis in the keynote speech is QNX (recently acquired by BlackBerry) founder Dan Dodge, saying that "QNX is going to enable things that you have never seen before". This is because the tablet will be running the BlackBerry Tablet OS which QNX developed. This platform will enable OpenGL, POSIX, Flash content via Flash 10.1 as well as HTML 5 web standards support. Dodge also added that the PlayBook will also be "an incredible gaming platform for publishers and the players." Teased? Full information after the jump.


As for dimensions, the PlayBook will be at 7.6 x 5.1 inches and only 0.4-inches thick, weighing 400g. It uses a 7-inch, using a capacitive multi-touch display having a resolution of 1024x600, powered by a Cortex A9-based 1GHz dual core CPU - making the company declare that it will be the fastest tablet ever. It also houses 1GB of RAM and for the mandatory camera/telephony functionality, has a 3-megapixel front camera while 5-megapixels at the back. For video playback, it is capable of 1080p HD, with HDMI ports. Connectivity is employed through MicroUSB connections, WiFi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1

The OS it uses is like a combination of your typical BlackBerry interface and that of the webOS for your multitasking needs. And as already mentioned, they're also emphasizing on the multimedia and gaming applications for your "first professional tablet", another moniker for this gadget. In terms of connectivity and integration with your BlackBerry smartphone, Lizardis terms the Playbook as an "amplification" of what's already in the former as it allows the display of data from your handset into the tablet without having to sync data.
