RIM launches Playbook to fight against rival Apple's IPAD.

Rim PlayBook won’t be available until early 2011. RIM PlayBook has a 7" display, 1Gb of RAM, features a dual-core 1-Ghz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, which should be faster than competing tablets. It has dual HD cameras, HD video recording capability, and HDMI output.

It supports MP3, AAC, and WMA, making it capable of handling even Apple and Microsoft proprietary audio formats. Its support of Adobe Flash Player, and HTML5 ensures that it is compatible with virtually any interactive Web site or online video content.

The PlayBook runs a new operating system, which is based on QNX Neutrino, a product RIM bought earlier this year. Neutrino is a modern, UNIX-like operating system that currently runs in many embedded systems, including cars, and is said to be faster than anything the competition has to offer.
