Analyst Impressed After Playing With PlayBookview story

http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com Here’s one for the RIM bulls–an analyst note predicting a strong debut for the company’s forthcoming PlayBook tablet. RBC’s Mike Abramsky spent some hands-on time with the PlayBook at CES and came away impressed. Though he acknowledges that it comes with a fair bit of execution risk (new platform, new OS), Abramsky says, “RIM appears determined to get PlayBook right out of the gate.” And that includes getting its battery life competitive.

PlayBook Sequel Will Run on Sprint 4Gview story

http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com A noteworthy development in the evolution of Research in Motion’s tablet strategy. The company today told Reuters it will release a 4G version of the PlayBook with Sprint Nextel, which it says has the most “ubiquitous 4G network at this point.” The device will arrive at market sometime this summer after its Wi-Fi-only predecessor debuts in the first quarter of this year–wise choice of scheduling, since this allows RIM to launch ahead of carrier certification and the delays that often accompany it.
