RIM BlackPad Vs Apple iPad

Posted on 09. Aug, 2010 by Rob Brown in Business, Entertainment, Marketing, News

RIM is whispering rumors of their upcoming iPad competitor the BlackPad. What are the BlackPad specs? How will the BlackPad work? Is the BlackPad better then the iPad? This article reviews RIM’s BlackPad to compare it against Apple’s iPad in terms of media, messaging and where I think the real battle field is, in education.

Almost at the exact moment Apple released the iPad, people have been speculating what competing smartphone maker Research In Motion would do to match Apple’s touch screen tablet efforts. In the face of less than spectacular reviews for RIM’s new Blackberry Torch (next generation BlackBerry), detailed rumors of RIM’s tablet device have started to surface.

Blackpad Specs:

9.7″ Display Bluetooth WiFi Front and Rear Facing Cameras 2 Million units in production starting September 2010 Expected to launch in November of 2010 8 Million units in production throughout 2011 Sources: Bloomberg, AppleDaily, Engadget.

Blackberry 6 and the BlackPad:

Updated news of RIM’s tablet follows closely with another large announcement from RIM about the operating system that will powers all of it’s new devices. Blackberry 6 improves access to music and movies with a coverflow like interface, uses tabs similar to HTC devices, integrates contacts with social network updates, uses a better webkit based web browser, and provisions for true multi-touch screen interfaces. Below is a video demo from RIM showing these new features.
