BlackBerry Tablet Confirmed, Supports Flash

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the isn't-that-cute dept.

HouseMuzik writes "Betanews' Tim Conneally reports that sources close to RIM have confirmed the existence of a BlackBerry Tablet device, with a ship date by the end of the year. Previous reporting on the device was confirmed by the source, including a 7" screen and a 1GHz processor. The source added that the device would support Flash, and would include a hardware-based Flash accelerator. Betanews' reporting seems to confirm an earlier report that quoted Rodman & Renshaw analyst Ashok Kumar as saying the BlackBerry Tablet indeed existed."

    Yeah, I'm sure Jim Balsillie gives a shit about Apple and its falling marketshare in the cellphone market and what type of tablet a bunch of Hipster Douchebags bought.

    Jim Balsillie is worried about Google and the explosive growth of 2nd place Android.

    The *ONLY* people who are irritated at Apple's lack of flash are either flash "developers," Adobe employees, or internet marketoids. For just about everybody else it is merely a vector for free games, cheap porn, and eyeball-exploding advertising.

    The trend among people I know has been to delete flash entirely, or use a flashblocker so it is more of an on-demand choice than something that gets thrust into your face.
