Un nuevo proyecto de RIM pudiera ser la evolución del BlackBerry PlayBook o un hermano mayor en un concepto de Tablet con teclado ocultable.
De acuerdo a una patente presentada recientemente, RIM podría estar trabajando en una potente respuesta a la Tablet Surface de Microsoft, que es sin duda una mezcla entre Tablet y computadora portátil.
Lo nuevo de esto es que de fábrica, vendrá un teclado que será ocultable con la misma Tablet, según indica la patente:
An electronic device having a concealed keyboard includes a first housing, a second housing rotatably coupled to the first housing, and a concealment cover coupled to a rear of the first housing. The first housing has a coupling edge and two sides that are substantially perpendicular to the coupling edge of the first housing. The second housing has a coupling edge and two sides that are substantially perpendicular to the coupling edge of the second housing. A receiving portion is formed on a rear surface of the first housing and is configured to receive the second housing. When the second housing is in the receiving portion, each respective side of the first housing and the second housing are co-terminal with one another. The concealment cover is exteriorly positioned with respect to the second housing when the second housing is in the receiving portion.
Lo que da a preguntar es que si en efecto está en planes de RIM traer esto a la vida, cuáles serán las desventajas [ara los que tienen y tendrán el BlackBerry PlayBook, más aun cuando se quiere incluir a la Tablet en el lanzamiento del BlackBerry 10.
¡Veremos!
