There’s been a lot of talk and speculation about a potential tablet launch from Research In Motion (RIM), the makers of the Blackberry.  It’s been hard to tell if this was just a rumor or if there was some legitimacy to the stories that have been circulating about a Blackberry companion tablet device.  I guess it makes a lot of sense when you consider that the tech world is pretty tablet focused right now.

Wednesday, there was some news that refreshed the RIM tablet rumors when it was discovered and quickly circulated that RIM has registered the domain www.blackpad.com.  When you visit the site, you get a blank white page without any content, but also without any redirect or errors.  Hmmm…..

I gotta ask though, blackpad.com?  Are you kidding me with that?  I’m used to Apple’s iPad.  I can handle Asus’ ePad.  I don’t even have a problem with HP’s PalmPad, but I sure hope, for RIM’s sake that blackpad is just a domain name, because that is a ridiculous name for a tablet device.  I suppose Blackberry isn’t much better, it’s just been around a very long time so we’re all accustomed to it.

We should learn more about the existence of a RIM tablet sometime soon.  We’ll keep you updated.

What do you think about the sudden rush most device companies are making to develop a tablet of some kind?  If you could name a tablet device, what would you call it?  Please leave us a comment and if you enjoyed this post, please share it with someone.
