TORONTO (Reuters) - Research In Motion will introduce a tablet computer in November to compete with Apple Inc's iPad, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing two people familiar with the company's plans.

The Waterloo, Ontario-based maker of the BlackBerry smartpnone will call the device the Blackpad, according to one of the sources.

The Blackpad is expected to have about the same dimensions as the iPad and cost about as much as the $499-plus Apple tablet, the report said.

Apple has sold more than 3 million iPads since the product's debut in April.

RIM is widely expected to unveil a revamped version of the BlackBerry on Tuesday, aiming to compete more effectively against Apple's iPhone and other advanced smartphones

It's the "no brainer" ease of use and the full integration of my iPad, iPhone and iMac that made me a sucker for Apple. Not forgetting the low incidence of system hang, errors that made me switch camp to Apple.

The iPad will not be the perfect computer but it sure beats the convenience and easy usage part. I have to say Apple stuff looks good even if they are not turn on....I am attracted to beautiful things, including ladies (and for this case, it will be me turn on):becky:

For someone not so hardcore in running lots of applications in a phone or pad, I am currently happy with Apple stuff.
