Monday August 23, 2010

Many smartphone producers globally has been presenting increased interest in the tablet PC segment of the market, and Research In Motion and LG Electronics both these companies are offering suitable plans in the market for future.

While this is not going to be a surprise as many rumors has emerged into the wild a while ago, there are still some aspects covered in mystery, but it seems that more is being disclosed on these slates as the release dates approach.

Among these details, we can count the fact that RIM's slate, apparently called the BlackPad, and would not run under the company's BlackBerry operating system. A platform designed by QNX Software should be at the heart of this device, anonymous sources told Bloomberg, a recent article on BGR notes.

Earlier rumors have suggested that we should see its packing Wi-Fi connectivity on board, but no other specifications were disclosed by now. Rumor has it that it will possibly be released on November by BGR notes, but official info on this still needs to emerge, it seems.

When it comes to LG's plans for a tablet PC, we already knew that the company would intend including the device in its Optimus Series, and that it would run under Google's Android OS, but it seems that this is not all about it. According to reports that LG's Marketing VP has just claimed that the upcoming tablet is set to prove a better product than the Apple iPad would release in market.

Apple's iPad is the most popular slates in the market, and LG's tablet would surely have a strong competitor to fight beside it. However, there are great chances that LG would be able to offer a great device to enthusiasts, though it remains to be seen how it would perform when compared to Apple tablet.
