Research In Motion Testing BlackBerry OS 6.0 Tablet: What You Need to Know

Research In Motion (RIM), the maker of BlackBerry smartphones, is reportedly working on a tablet device that will run on its latest operating system, version 6.0. The tablet, which is expected to be released by the end of 2010, will be a companion to BlackBerry phones and will use Bluetooth tethering for internet access on the go. Here are some of the features and specifications of the rumored BlackBerry tablet:

The tablet will have a 7-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, and will support multi-touch gestures and capacitive touch input.[^1^]

The tablet will run on the BlackBerry Tablet OS, which is based on the QNX Neutrino microkernel architecture, a reliable, secure and robust operating system that powers many embedded systems.[^1^] [^3^]

The tablet will have a 1 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 3 megapixel front-facing camera and a 5 megapixel rear camera. It will also support 1080p HD video playback and output via an HDMI port.[^1^]

The tablet will have 4 GB of internal storage space and a microUSB port for data transfer and charging.[^2^]

The tablet will run the same applications as BlackBerry phones, and will also support Flash 10.1 and Adobe AIR apps. It will also have a new browser that renders pages faster and supports tabs and HTML5.[^1^] [^2^]

The tablet will have an \"amplified view\" of what's on your BlackBerry phone, allowing you to access your email, contacts, calendar, messages and other data without syncing or duplicating them.[^1^]

The BlackBerry tablet is expected to compete with other tablets in the market, such as the Apple iPad, the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Dell Streak. However, some analysts have expressed doubts about the viability of the tablet, especially since it relies on a phone for internet connectivity and does not have its own cellular modem.[^3^] RIM has not officially confirmed or denied the existence of the tablet, but has said that it is always exploring new opportunities in the mobile space.

One of the main attractions of the BlackBerry tablet is that it will run on the BlackBerry OS 6.0, which is the latest version of RIM's operating system for its smartphones. BlackBerry OS 6.0 was released in August 2010 and introduced several improvements and new features to enhance the user experience. Here are some of the highlights of BlackBerry OS 6.0:

A revamped home screen that includes a swipe-up app menu on the bottom, similar to Android's pull-down blind, that features multiple pages of apps organized by type (all, favorites, etc.). The home screen also has a universal search bar that allows users to look up anything on their device.

Multitouch support that enables users to use two fingers on the screen at the same time, such as pinching to zoom in the browser, photos and maps.

Kinetic scrolling that adds momentum to scrolling, making pages glide to a gradual stop after a swipe, instead of stopping abruptly.

A new WebKit-based browser that renders pages faster and supports tabs and HTML5. The browser also supports Flash 10.1 and Adobe AIR apps.

A new media player that features album art alongside titles in every list, and a Cover-Flow-style arrangement of albums on the "now playing" page.

Redesigned core apps, such as email, contacts, calendar and messages, that have a more intuitive and user-friendly interface.

The BlackBerry OS 6.0 is compatible with some of the existing BlackBerry smartphones, such as the BlackBerry Bold 9700, Bold 9650 and Pearl 3G. However, some of the older models may not be able to run the new OS due to hardware limitations. RIM has also launched new smartphones that come with BlackBerry OS 6.0 pre-installed, such as the BlackBerry Torch and the BlackBerry Style.

The BlackBerry tablet is expected to offer a similar user experience as the BlackBerry OS 6.0 smartphones, but with a larger screen and more powerful hardware. The tablet will also have an "amplified view" of what's on your BlackBerry phone, allowing you to access your phone's data without syncing or duplicating them.[^1^] This feature may appeal to loyal BlackBerry users who want to have a seamless integration between their phone and tablet.
