| PlayBook: RIM hopes its tablet will attract younger buyers |
RIM hopes the device, which can be synchronised with a BlackBerry, will attract young buyers who want speedy web access and the ability to play video with a single touch on the screen.
Executives are looking to persuade diehard fans of the BlackBerry brand to stay loyal when choosing a tablet.
The tablets, which are less than 1cm thick, could be available by the end of the year.
The PlayBook is set to be cheaper than its iPad rival, which retails from £439, and technology experts have praised its fast performance.

It also faces tough competition in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
The iPad has sold more than seven million units since it launched last April.
Stuff, the world's leading gadget magazine, has scoured the CES, which ends on January 9, to name the top ten hottest products of 2011.
The world's best technical journalists whittled down more than 20,000 innovative entries into ten final products including the smallest headphones and the most powerful smartphone in the world.

ReplyDeleteSorry Anon,
ReplyDeleteWe all need a little break now and again. There is enough gloom and doom on this site to satisfy.
Both comments are fair,But with the Terrorist Attack threat being raised,maybe now is the time we should really be pushing the media to question about the Ilegally parked scabs cars being left parked,Unchecked by anyone outside packed venues up and down the country,nothing like striking whilst the irons hot.
ReplyDeleteIs it not the IPAD the 'Golden Marshals' used at Coventry Street when the WCC/LTDA 'my old mates' rank was in operation?
ReplyDeleteIt seems the batteries only lasted a short while!
Th authorities did not move the scabs the DAY AFTER 7/7!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, Little chance, Will it take a mass casualty outrage before anyone takes notice?
If so certain people will have 'blood on their hands'.
Still some are focusssing on the Yellow Badge Menace for us all, What a joke.
VERITAS,
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you are saying,that is why we have to pester the media,We have to have the public made aware of just what a dangerous situation the authorities are putting the public in.So when the unthinkable happens,and we all know it will,they cant slink into the background,and deny there was a problem.Because everyone will know it was pointed out to them.Maybe even charges could follow,CULPABLE HOMICIDE,springs to mind,Love to see MASON and HENDY,try to talk thier way out of that,I think a lot of our problems stems from,the way we approach this problem as TAXI drivers,so we get the idiots on the radio giving thier just greedy,and wont go south,we all know the crap they talk.So lets approach it as concerned members of the public.
