RIM 9.7 inch Blackpad Tablet May Be Just Months Away

First, there is rumors that RIM acquired the www.blackpad.com website. Now, there are rumors saying that the production will start in August and slated to be on sales from November.

Based on reports, it will have Bluetooth, WiFi, and front- and rear-facing cameras and may be priced at US$499. However, no one can really confirm the OS. Anyway, I believe this tablet will just be one of the many in these few months.

Based on Bloomberg previous report,

The device will have roughly the same dimensions as the iPad, which has a 9.7-inch diagonal screen, said the two people who wouldn’t be identified because the plans haven’t been made public. The device will include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology that will allow people to connect to the Internet through their BlackBerry smartphones, the two people said.

So, what do  you think? Will this tablet able to match up with iPad?
