BlackBerry maker Research in Motion on September 27 unveiled a touchscreen tablet computer called "PlayBook" aimed at business users. The PlayBook is one of a number of tablet computers slated for release in a bid to challenge Apple's popular iPad and is the first foray outside the mobile phone realm for the Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM.
The PlayBook has a seven-inch (17.8-centimeter) touchscreen, smaller than the 9.7 inches of Apple's iPad, and also plays Adobe Flash video software, which is banned from the Apple device.
BlackBerry smartphone users can pair their handset with the PlayBook using a Bluetooth connection to view their email, calendar, documents or other content.
The PlayBook also features front- and rear-facing cameras to support video conferencing and allows multi-tasking between programmes.
