RIM Announces New Tablet PC

Well, it’s official folks.  Research In Motion, a.k.a. RIM, the lovely people who have brought you many frustrating Blackberry products chocked full of trackballs, announced yesterday that they will be releasing a tablet touchscreen computer.  Aimed to compete with the iPad and the new Samsung Galaxy, the RIM tablet, being called the Playbook for now, will feature a 1 GHz processor and a max resolution of 1024×600.  The phone will be able to pair with Blackberry handsets via bluetooth to share data and a 3G connection.  And most importantly, for the iPad haters, it will feature fully hardware accelerated Flash (YAY!).  Look for it to be released sometime in Q1 2011.
