TEXT 35 -BlackBerry announces iPad rival

September 29, 2010 PLAY

The company that makes BlackBerry mobile phones

has announced plans for a new, touchscreen, tablet-style
computer to rival the Apple iPad. The PlayBook goes on sale PLAY
next year.
BlackBerry’s equivalent to the iPad has a smaller screen

and is lighter than Apple’s device. That’s meant to make it

appealing to business people on the move, the kind of people
who already buy BlackBerry phones.

Nearly six million iPads were sold in the first six months,
so it’s easy to see why Research in Motion, the Canadian firm
behind the BlackBerry, wants a bite of Apple’s market. One
key selling point for RIM’s product is, unlike the iPad, it runs
Flash video, the most popular software for showing moving
images online.
Apple devices don’t run Flash, thanks to a well-publicized
disagreement between the company and Adobe, the firm
behind the video technology.
PLAY
Analysts say the BlackBerry tablet device is better placed
than many rivals to mount an effective challenge to Apple. But
it’s seen as more likely to find a niche in the market than to be
an outright iPad-killer.
