BlackBerry Launches A Tablet

Research In Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) unveiled a new professional-grade BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and BlackBerry Tablet OS.

Measuring less than half an inch thick and weighing less than a pound, the BlackBerry PlayBook features a 7” high resolution display. The product will run a 1 GHz dual-core processor.

The product supports Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Adobe Mobile AIR and HTML-5. Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) has done what it can not to support Flash on its iPad and iPhone products.

RIM also launched the BlackBerry Enterprise Application Middleware – an application development platform that will enable commercial enterprise and corporate developers to more easily build “super app” enterprise applications and services for BlackBerry smartphones.
