Wired: BlackBerry BlackPad To Heat Up Tablet PC Market
Wired magazine presents convincing evidence that RIM (Research in Motion) is indeed close to launching an iPad rival that could make the business tablet market more interesting – or confusing.
“Research In Motion is moving closer to the production of its tablet called the ‘BlackPad’. The company has chosen Taiwanese notebook manufacturer Quanta to produce at least two million tablets this year, says a Chinese language paper Apple Daily.
RIM and Quanta are reportedly targeting a September shipping and a $500 price tag for the BlackPad to make it competitive against Apple’s iPad.”
