The BlackPad will include Wi-Fi and will be able to connect to their mobile phone via Bluetooth, and according to two people inside, the BlackPad will not be able to connect directly to a cellular network like some iPads can. Also RIM has decided to implement the QNX operating system over BlackBerry 6.
RIM plans to announce the tablet BlackPad in November, and yes, the BlackPad will be roughly the same size as the iPad.
What do you think of the BlackPad? Winning idea, or epic fail? Let us know.

they should have made the blackpad able to use the phone network without having to connect to a cell phone, i think that will be the greatest downfall of the blackpad.
not directly to cellular networks? what does this mean? so it'll connect to your phones tethering? will os 6 have mobile hotspots?
Whatever way it connects to the internet, i just hope it takes advantage of external ports, has some sort of dedicated GPU, works with app world and doesn't use micro Sim cards because it really doesn't solve anything except become a nuisance.
not so sure about the name (mainly the pad bit) but as portable device, it could work alongside a mobile phone and notebook.
sure, that's double cost
sure, double internet charges
