According to the “EnGadget”, RIM, the creator of Blackberry cell phones, is introducing the new OS Tablet – PlayBook, which is analogous to the Apple’s iPad. QNX, the company which produces the software for PlayBook and is owned by RIM, has produced software for companies ranging from the ones which provide medical service to the ones which create nuclear reactors, and thus can bring this experience into the software of the new PlayBook. And even though RIM is one year late from Apple, which produced its iPad in 2010 and is RIM’s biggest competitor, the market is still free for the new OS Tablet to come along. From the information posted on http://www.dailywireless.org/2010/09/28/rim-playbook/, the new PlayBook will have some unique specific characteristics, such as a 1GB RAM and a 5MP camera, which non of its competitors – Apple, Samsung, and Dell have, and thus can create a short-run competitive advantage for RIM. The major limitation of the PlayBook is that its selling price is not yet determined, and therefore the device cannot yet be considered iPad’s competitor. The competition for the OS Tablet market between the two giants will only begin since the release of the PlayBook in 2011.
