RIM’s BlackBerry tablet starting to sound suspiciously like a Foleo
Posted in: BlackBerry, RIM, rumor, tablet, Today's Chili
So BGR is reporting that it has “confirmed with multiple sources” that RIM’s alleged BlackBerry tablet device is very real — despite Mike Lazaridis’ recent downer comments on the subject — and that it’ll have an 8.9-inch screen, WiFi, and Bluetooth connectivity to hook up with your phone. Oh yeah, about that Bluetooth connectivity: the tablet is being billed as a “companion” device, something to use when you need a little bit more horsepower and screen real estate for multimedia and the like. Sound familiar? Yeah, Palm tried this with famously catastrophic results a while back — and considering RIM’s ultra-conservative policy on product innovation, we can’t imagine things going any better up in Waterloo. It’s apparently slated for a December release with engineers scrambling to get it released even sooner… and, you know, discontinued sooner, too.
