Pocket-Lint: RIM looks set to pin its hopes on the success of a 4G-enabled BlackBerry PlayBook and a 10-inch tablet device as it tries to recover from poor financial results and delays to the BlackBerry 10 operating system.
Blackberry Blog - Yes, you read the title correctly. The BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet you know and love is now even better, with a new model available in Canada on select carriers beginning August 9th that has built-in support for ultra-fast 4G LTE™ networks.
N4BB - We’ve known since the first BlackBerry PlayBook that RIM would eventually release a 4G variant of the tablet. We’ve even seen some clues in the OS that RIM had really prepared for the 4G PlayBook. A user has posted what they claim is a true 4G BlackBerry PlayBook.
BGR - Sprint has abandoned its plans to launch a version of Research In Motion’s BlackBerry PlayBook tablet with an embedded 4G WiMAX radio. The nation’s No. 3 wireless carrier cited a lack of demand among business customers as its reasoning for the cancellation, The Wall Street Journal reports. “It’s an interesting concept, it just hasn’t caught on with business customers as much as they would like,” said president of Sprint’s business markets group, Paget Alves.
