RIM recently launch its PlayBook and since then the tablet promoting work has been actively performed. The recent rumors state that the plans for producing the 10 inch PlayBook is now have taken a backseat. The company has totally planned to focus on the smartphones and its QNX operating system.
The strategy for the production of 10 inch PlayBook has been scrapped. This has been done only because RIM wants to focus on the upcoming smartphone that runs on the QNX operating system. The USP of the smartphone will be its 1.2 GHz processor and 4.3 inch captive touchscreen.
The plan of production of this smartphone was announced ling time back (December 2010) and now all we can assume is, the company is in a hurry to launch the phone as soon as possible. The satisfying point is- the tablet market of India is yet to be recognized hence, the company still has the chance to make its mark on the tablet market. The device may release in October this year.
