“The world’s first professional-grade tablet" has all the markings of a businessman’s best friend, but it also has multimedia clout to match anything its rivals can offer.

Price: £699 | Blackberry

Powered by a dualcore 1GHz processor and packing 1GB of RAM, this seven-inch tablet is as slick as they come. 

A brace of HD cameras adds to the multimedia bounty which also includes access to 7 Digital’s music store, Flash 10.1 support, a micro HDMI port for 1080p HD playback on a TV and a high resolution, 1024x600 screen of its own.

RIM's brand new QNX operating system serves up a unique and enjoyable interface and syncs up perfectly with BlackBerry smartphones via Bluetooth, letting you use phone and tablet in tandem.
