BlackPad?

Speculations are that Reasearch In Motion (RIM) is getting to ready to release its own tablet PC, duly named the BlackPad. Reports are that the BlackPad is expected to become available in the fourth quarter. RIM has been on a losing streak in recent times, as its market share in the smartphone market continues to slip. But is this a good move for RIM? Entering a market that it has no experience in? Some analysts seem to think that a move into the tablet PC market for smartphone producers is a natural one. How will the BlackPad compete against the Ipad? This should be be interesting.
