Toronto/San Francisco: Can-adian wireless giant Research in Motion (RIM), the maker of the BlackBerry, on Monday unveiled its tablet computer called PlayBook to take on Apple's iPad.
Targeted mostly at business people (like its BlackBerry smartphone), the PlayBook is half the size of the iPad. Weighing the same as the iPad, it is 9.77 mm thick.
The tablet, which will fit neatly into a small corporate suitcase, will hit the North American market early next year and be available elsewhere later in 2011.
Unveiling the PlayBook at the company developers' annual meeting in San Francisco, RIM co-CEO Mike Laz-aridis said: "RIM set out to engineer the best professional-grade tablet in the industry with cutting-edge hardware features and one of the world's most robust and flexible operating systems.
The PlayBook, its makers said, supports 1080p high-definition video. |
