BLACKBERRY GIVES THE IPAD AN OFFICIAL COMPETITOR!

Research in Motion (RIM) has released the official competitor to the iPad….it’s called the “Playbook”

.

The CEO of the company jokes that unlike its competitor, the Playbook is the first tablet to be able to access the full web. Apple products do not support Adobe’s Flash.

He also promised that it would be an amazing gaming platform, which is a stretch away from RIM’s usual business-oriented products (BlackBerry).

He was very open about discussing features, but stayed away from price and battery life of the Playbook. It will be released in early 2011.
