RIM takes control of blackpad.com, laughter takes control of our minds

A quick WHOIS confirms that RIM's taken control of blackpad.com -- yes, it's long been rumored as a potential name for the BlackBerry tablet, but we're certainly hoping Waterloo's just parking a domain name to keep squatters at bay, because, seriously, we just got over the iPad jokes, you know?

P.S.- And might we see whatever this is at the RIM / AT&T event on Tuesday? Consider our interest piqued.

@rollingwave They still have have blackboards in the classrooms. Although they may be green, they still call them blackboards.

BlueBerry Perhaps..?

Blackberry 6.0 powered tablet with corporate e-mail functions and security? This could take off...

[truckfreak69 Posted Jul 28th 2010 11:32PM]

How about NoteBerry, or bPad, or SlaBB, or TaBBlet, or the Blackberry Sketch?

RIM is digging their grave. They will now have to create a whitepad as not to offend anyone by being politically incorrect.

What's wrong with BlackPad? Sounds great to me.

[phreakincool Posted Jul 29th 2010 12:14AM]
