BlackPad : Blackberry iPad Killer - To Be Announced Next Week?!
According to WSJ, Research in Motion (RIM) - BB Maker - could very well unveil its much-rumored slate as early as next week at a developer conference in San Francisco.
Although no one from RIM has disclosed the exact name of the slate, insiders are already calling it the BlackPad --

Rumors have it that the supposed Blackberry iPad Killer will come replete with a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, one or two cameras, a new operating system built by QNS Software Systems (in lieu of BlackBerry 6) and a Marvell-made processor. As for connectivity, it's said that BlackPad will support both Wifi and Bluetooth (There should be a 3G variant, I believe).
Upon release, BlackPad is expected to face major competition -- not just from Apple's well-received iPad but also from two Android slates; The Samsung Galaxy Tab and the LG Optimus Tablet.
