The article I have chosen is based on RIM’s upcoming technology called Playbook. I chose to do my assignment on this article because many companies (such as Samsung and Toshiba) are coming out with different versions of this technology to compete with Apples iPad. I wanted to look further into one of these technologies to find out what other companies have to offer versus Apple.

During a conference speech, co-chief executive, Michael Lazaridis said the -inch touch tablet is aimed at business customers It is compatible with a business’s existing enterprise servers-and therefore no need for the company to acquire additional software, security or data plans. The device can run both html5, and flash 10.1, and has a 1 gigahertz dual core processor and a one gigabyte RAM capability. In addition, the playbook can connect with consumers Blackberry devices via Bluetooth and can share the same data plan.

To further the notion of the playbook as a business tool, the technology has both front and rear facing camera, supports 1080p high definition video and has HDMI output,- which is perfect for displaying a presentation, videos and websites.
