![RIM’s BlackPad to release in November for $499 [Rumour]](https://static.digit.in/default/artImg75x64_5193.jpg "RIM’s BlackPad to release in November for $499 [Rumour]")
It seems that the now infamous BlackPad, or BlackBerry tablet, is a step closer to reality, if the latest rumours are to be believed. Apple Daily has “sources” that told them that the BlackPad will have all the same specifications we’ve previously heard about (9.7-inch screen, WiFi, front and rear cameras, Bluetooth, etc.,), and also revealed new information about the production side of things:
Apparently Quanta Computer (a popular OEM) won the bid to manufacture the BlackBerry tablet, and plans to start producing 2 million units starting September, due for a November release (again something we’ve heard before), and another 8 million planned for next year. That’s a lot of anticipated demand! According to the same sources, the price is going to be around $499 (in case you’ve forgotten, that’s the starting price of the iPad).
