Here it is, kiddies. The BlackBerry Tablet. Apparently the name BlackPad didn’t make the cut because this one comes with the clever name of Playbook. Details are still developing as it was just announced, but here’s what we know right now: 7-inch display, 1GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, an e-reader app, and the rumored ability to tether to a BlackBerry phone — all set to drop in Q2 of 2011. There’s a lot to like here. The PlayBook runs Flash 10.1 and HTML 5 along with supporting hardware accelerated video. There’s HDMI and USB connections, along with a front and rear-facing camera. That HDMI connection can even output video to dual displays. There’s no doubt that the PlayBook rocks some impressive hardware, but that’s only a small part of what makes a tablet great. Its future lies in the hands of what seems to be a totally revamped OS. 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7Authors: Matt Burns
