RIM unveils 'Playbook' tablet

This will eat the soul of all other slates. Seriously not even KB can be negative about it (yeh right he'll find a way).
This is a beast RIM are not going the way of nokia they're really getting their head in the game.

Well lets hope it's at least the price of the cheapest ipad.
I expect $400-$650 (RIM can be a bit pricey) and that would be for the 16 gig (I saw a pic with 16GB on the back).

You are right...I found a possible issue.

"BlackBerry smartphone owners can tether their devices and use the 3G on the tablet."

From the sounds of it, there is no built-in 3G.

im sorry guys but i still cant see the point of these devices you can either have a smartphone that is truly portable or a laptop which is less so but will do anything you want it to

I have not really found much use either. If this thing had 3G and skype, then it could almost function as a big-screen phone...but those are two "if"s that don't currently exist.

Got to hand it to Blackberry, they know how to market their stuff to Big Business. "Playbook" football, NFL, Pros... vs iPAD?
C'mon.

That's marketing.

talk about ripping Palm's folio concept (google it ;)) and webos's cards metaphor.

still. sexcellent tab, love how it is, and i might pick one up! that is unless a webos tablet is realeased befoer or soon after.

I can't think of any use for a tablet right now...I guess that is a good thing considering we will not see any good tablets until summer.
