[Rumors] 10inch playbook is coming....7.8inch ipad is coming too
- Now to talk about the second part of the title... 7.8 inch iPad? I think that's just the wrong size, because the 7 inch PlayBook barely fits into most of my pockets, so 7.8 inches would either be so widescreen it's unusable or too big to be portable, and I'd say if it isn't portable anyway bigger screens are better.
But anyway, I have no trouble believing that a larger PlayBook will come out eventually. There's a lot of demand for the larger size for some reason, so once RIM establishes their position in the tablet market (sometime in the next 5 years...) they'll likely go into the closely related non-portable tablet market.12-28-11 01:35 PMLike 0 - Now to talk about the second part of the title... 7.8 inch iPad?

I might add this thought, if the trolls and haters thus allow me: RIM does many things at once, they always have - so it is completely logical that they would release a 10" pb as well as new qnx phones in 2012, hit the year with a big qnx splash - makes sense to me.12-28-11 01:36 PMLike 0

- New products are always going to be in development: that's part of business. The 10" inch form factor is not only believable, it's logical. It's also extremely smart if RIM were to release it as a double-whammy with the 2.0 update. That said, I still don't believe it per say, because my friend's brother's half uncle used to deliver RIM newspapers in the late '90s, and he said it isn't true.bitek likes this.12-28-11 01:39 PMLike 1

- Yes, I would consider purchasing a 10" pb. I would really love logmein on my tablet (pb), and am considering purchasing an iPad just to get this function. Does anyone know of a worthy competitor to logmein (available on pb)? Thanks12-28-11 01:54 PMLike 0
- Given the current state of the 7" playbook and all the delays in getting software out, a 10" PB would be insanity! First get the 7" working properly and then think about a 10" model.
All RIM has to do is look at what happened with the HP Touchpad! Wait, that's it! First a 7" model for $199 and a 10" model for $99. Genius!!! That's thinking outside the box!FF22 likes this.12-28-11 02:29 PMLike 1 - Given the current state of the 7" playbook and all the delays in getting software out, a 10" PB would be insanity!

Wearing thin is true for me as well. Not enough hope to keep my 9930 though, it's going back in about an hour. I can't justify $250 for it (Sprint) when I can get 9810 for for free (AT&T) - especially with all the bragging going on around here about 9810/PB combo. I'm actually quite jealous of them right now.
I personally hate my iPad, size is one of the reasons. But developing the Workbook would be a good idea for RIM. I just think they have way too much on their plate right now and putting an unfinished product out here again would be suicide12-28-11 03:06 PMLike 0 -
