Research In Motion today announced two additional BlackBerry 4G PlayBook tablets in the second half of 2011. One will add support for LTE connectivity while the other will add HSPA+ connectivity support.
“The BlackBerry PlayBook tablet is already being widely recognized for its superior performance, rich web experience, enterprise readiness and deep support for web standards and open development tools. We are now building on the BlackBerry PlayBook’s many advantages with support for additional 4G networks that will allow enhanced business opportunities for carriers and developers and unparalleled mobile experiences for users,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at Research In Motion.
With these two new models, we will now see a total of four PlayBook variants in 2011. The other two are a Wi-Fi only model and a WiMAX version for Sprint.
There is no word yet on pricing or which carriers will offer the new PlayBooks.
