This didn't really fit as Apple hardware or an Apple rumor or report so I'll post it here. I also post this at the risk of furthering what may be perceived as my continued anti-Apple crusade (which is not true).
RIM Unveils PlayBook Tablet, Runs QNX, Unicorns Smile
I have to say that this device looks slick. I'm no tablet guy by any means but I have to say that if this device was anything like I imagine it to be after seeing/reading this, I'd be all over it if I wanted a tablet.

To quote Thom from OSNews:
It's dual-core and has four times as much RAM as an iPad. It has a camera (two of them in fact) which people seem to keep wanting from an iPad. It does have a smaller screen which is a detriment but can do HD. It doesn't have the same app ecosystem which could be a detriment in the long run if they can't attract developers.This thing... This thing's got some impressive hardware specifications. It has the already mentioned 1Ghz dual-core ARM processor, but also 1GB of RAM, twocameras (back and front) capable of 1080p video recording, and a 7" 1024×600 multitouch display. It's got a whole boatload of connection options as well, of course: HDMI, USB, WiFi, BlueTooth, and 3G and 4G models will arrive later on as well.
