TEXTO:
BlackBerry announces iPad rival
29 September 2010
The company that makes BlackBerry mobile
phones has announced plans for a new, touchscreen,
tablet-style computer to rival the Apple iPad. The
PlayBook goes on sale next year.
[5] BlackBerry’s equivalent to the iPad has a smaller
screen and is lighter than Apple’s device. That’s meant
to make it appealing to business people on the move,
the kind of people who already buy BlackBerry phones.
Nearly six million iPads were sold ∈ the first six
[10] months, so it’s easy to see why Research ∈Motion,
the Canadian firm behind the BlackBerry, wants a bite of
Apple’s market. One key selling point for RIM’s product
is, unlike the iPad, it runs Flash video, the most popular
software for showing moving images online.
[15] Apple devices don’t run Flash, thanks to a
well-publicized disagreement between the company and
Adobe, the firm behind the video technology.
Analysts say the BlackBerry tablet device is better
placed than many rivals to mount an effective challenge
[20] to Apple. But it’s seen as more likely to find a niche ∈
the market than to be an outright iPad-killer.
