Blackberry set to release new tablet in November
In the world of smartphones, anticipation is building as Research in Motion (RIM) prepares to release new products later this year. One of these upcoming devices is the Blackberry Slider 9600, set to hit the market via AT&T.
The Blackberry Slider 9600 boasts 4 Gigs of Internal memory and a 5 MP camera, making it a formidable competitor in the smartphone market. RIM is positioning the Blackberry Slider 9600 as a key product in their efforts to cater to the mass market, with a focus on touch screen devices.
RIM's touch screen ambitions extend beyond the Blackberry Slider 9600, as the company is also rumoured to be developing a Tablet PC product. Ontario-based RIM has even gone so far as to purchase the domain name www.blackpad.com, fuelling speculation about their tablet plans.
However, details about RIM's tablet PC product are scarce at the moment. What we do know is that RIM is heavily promoting OS 6.0 as the future of their touch screen ambitions. OS 6.0 will be compatible on Blackberry Storm devices, but no specifics about the new operating system have been revealed yet.
Michael Kozlowski, a writer specializing in audiobooks, e-books, and e-readers, has been following RIM's progress for eighteen years. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Kozlowski has observed the company's struggle to play second fiddle to Apple and Android in the mass market.
Despite this, RIM remains optimistic about the future. Their Blackberry devices are renowned for their superior network and email system, giving them a unique selling point in the smartphone market. AT&T is also heavily promoting the future of Blackberry, positioning the Slider 9600 as a viable contender to other operating systems.
As we wait for more information about RIM's upcoming products, one thing is certain: the tech world is eager to see what the future holds for this innovative company.
