News Update: Research in Motion Takes on the Apple iPad With Blackbook (RIMM, AAPL)

Shares of BlackBerry maker Research in Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) are trading 3% higher after Bloomberg reported that the company is in the process of launching a table-style computer this Fall. Dubbed the “Blackpad”, this new tablet is RIM’s attempt at taking on the widely-successful iPad from Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). Research in Motion has fallen somewhat behind in the latest round of the smartphone war as it struggles to compete with the fast growing Android-based phones and Apple’s iPhone. However, RIM is expected to launch an updated version of its mobile operating system at an event in New York next week, which is expected to enhance certain consumer-oriented features such as media playback and web browsing. The new Blackpad device is reported to be similar to the iPad in size, include WiFi and Bluetooth, and allow tethering to BlackBerries. Also, it supposedly has a front-facing video camera – a feature many iPad owners wish were included in their device. There has been no official statement from the company at this point so how much truth there is to the story remains to be seen. Nevertheless, the technology world will be closely watching to see if the iPad will start to get some serious competition.

News Update: Airblue Airbus Plane Crash in Pakistan Claims 152 Lives

An Airblue Airbus 321 plane crashed in the dense, forest-laden Margalla Hills near Islamabad, Pakistan Wednesday, taking the lives of the 152 passengers and crew on board, marking the tragedy as the worst air crash in the country’s history. Heavy rains were reportedly a factor in the crash, along with the heavy clouds set on top of the hills where the crash occurred. The plane was en route from Karachi and a control tower reportedly kept the Airbus from landing; investigators are working on piecing together what exactly happened. Some officials told the press that the plane’s nine-and-a-half mile distance from the airport seemed unusual. Air Vice-Marshall Riazul Haq, deputy chief of the Civil Aviation Authority, told the Guardian that the plane “…should not have gone so far.” News of the crash was slow to travel and Imtiaz Elahi, chairman of the Capital Development Authority, told the Guardian, “It is a great tragedy, and I confirm with pain that there are no survivors.” Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira told press today that 115 bodies have been removed from the crash site, and that only 12 of those bodies have been correctly identified so far.
