THE company behind the BlackBerry may unveil its iPad rival at a conference for developers next week, according to a report.
The Wall Street Journal said Research In Motion could debut its new
tablet computer at an event next week for developers who make software for the BlackBerry range of phones.
The company responded to an inquiry with a terse email stating its "standard policy is to decline comment on rumours and speculation".
A tablet computer unofficially referred to as the "BlackPad" is due for release by the end of the year, prompting talk that it will be introduced at the Devcon 2010 event in San Francisco next Monday.
The Journal cited unnamed insiders as saying the BlackPad would have a 7" touchscreen, built-in cameras, and link wirelessly to cellular networks through BlackBerry phones.
Research In Motion has been under pressure in recent times because of the popularity of Apple's iPhone and handsets running Google's Android software.
Apple earlier this year unleashed a new titan into the mobile arena in the form of its hot-selling iPad tablet and rival firms have been racing to field competing devices.
