Just with only 10 mm, thickness, 7-inch WSVGA capacitive multi-touch screen support, the Playbook runs the BlackBerry Tablet OS that support for symmetric multiprocessing. We can see that RIM is really plan to challenge it competitor Apple Ipad. I think RIM is aims to take over the enterprise segment with their new gadget- Playbook.
