Research in Motion is adding a pair of new tablets to its PlayBook portfolio - and is rumoured to be working on supporting Android apps.
Announced at Mobile World Congress, the two new tablet versions will offer connectivity over LTE and HSPA+. The pair join a fleet that already included Wi-Fi and Wimax only connectivity.
LTE and HSPA+ are far more widely used technologies in the wireless mobile market than Wimax. Although LTE won't arrive in the UK until next year at the very earliest, HSPDA+ is already making progress as a stepping stone towards 4G services here.

It seems every manufacturer wants a bit of the tablet market at the moment.
What would be interesting is if RIM did start to support android apps. It would certainly make their products more appealing.
I can't actually see it myself, as RIM have their own quite capable apps. I'd be surprised, anyway.
I just think the android marketplace is significantly bigger.
It is, but there's a lot of rubbish on it. Hopefully, they'd be selective.
In that respect its like apple's. It is amazing the cr*p some people will put the effort into coding.
Indeed.
Take Microsoft for example... ;D
