RIM Working on a 10-Inch Version of PlayBook Tablet [RUMOR]

RIM plans to release a 10-inch version of its BlackBerry PlayBook tablet at the end of 2011, Boy Genius Report claims quoting multiple anonymous sources.

No further details are known about the upcoming tablet, except for the increased screen size compared to the original PlayBook's screen, which measures 7 inches.

The first PlayBook was introduced in April, so a December release of another PlayBook sounds more like an attempt to capture a piece of both the 7-inch and the 10-inch tablet market than a standard upgrade cycle.

In any case, a 10-inch version of the PlayBook would be a welcome change; in our review, we've found the 7-inch screen size limiting, especially when using the device in portrait mode.
