BlackPad

Research In Motion is supposedly getting ready to launch their BlackPad to compete with the iPad. A lot of companies are rumored to be prepping their iPad killers but a I don’t think any of them will enjoy the success that Apple has.

RIM just released the Blackberry Torch to compete with the iPhone. The problem is that the Torch has a small 480x360 screen that was cool back in 2007, lacks apps and fails to impress Android or iPhone 4 users.

How will RIM compete with the iPad? According to BlackBerryCool.com it will have front and rear facing cameras (like the iPhone 4), Bluetooth and no 3G support. There is still no word on whether it will have a slide out keyboard for business use.

Apps? There hasn’t been much talk of killer apps to compete with Apple’s App Store. Still, circle November on your calendars and stay tuned.
