Comments on: Blackberry maker RIM registers BlackPad.com http://www.imore.com/2010/07/28/blackberry-maker-rim-registers-blackpadcom/ More of everything iPhone and iPad Sat, 26 May 2012 14:12:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: BlackPad http://www.imore.com/2010/07/28/blackberry-maker-rim-registers-blackpadcom/comment-page-1/#comment-191728 BlackPad Fri, 06 Aug 2010 07:54:03 +0000 http://www.tipb.com/?p=35670#comment-191728 <p>As you wrote, the domain was registered in 2002. There wasn’t a trademark on the term “BlackPad” then and there still isn’t one today. If there had been, RIM would have surely taken the domain for free through a UDRP filing and your use of the term “squatted” would be totally acceptable. However, as we know this current situation is nothing like the hypothetical presented above, you should probably amend the “squatted” statement to reflect a more accurate characterization.</p> As you wrote, the domain was registered in 2002.

Either way, I'd be wary of this device considering RIMs track record with touch screens, and new types of devices in general.</p> I wonder if they'll sacrifice the keyboard al la Storm, or somehow try to squeeze one underneath the screen like the new phone they are about to debut.

One device will be a phone and primary communication and messaging tool and the tablet will be a companion device for media an entertainment. If you can share the connection from the phone to tablet I think it would be a huge win for RIM.</p> RIM will be targeting a market that will potentially carry two devices.
