Blackberry Leaks is reporting with some confidence that RIM is working on a Blackberry tablet to rival the iPad
We've received word from a connect that RIM is in fact working on a tablet. We do not have many details at the time, but we have been told that it will be smaller and thinner than the iPad. The BlackBerry tablet also goes by the codename: 'BlackPad' or possibly could be what Bla1ze from CrackBerry tells us, 'Cobalt'. The tablet will have full BlackBerry OS compatibility and functionality (note, we didn't say what kind of OS, lol). It is not set to release this year, and going by how long RIM takes to announce anything, it wouldn't surprise us if we don't see the 'BlackPad' until WES 2011 (unless it gets leaked first).
The site also mentions that there have been rumors Research In Motion ordering 8.9" display screens from Hon Hai.
