Tuesday, April 30, 2013 at 2:10PM The company that failed to make a successful tablet now says tablets are a dying breed.
“In five years I don’t think there’ll be a reason to have a tablet anymore,” Heins said in an interview yesterday at the Milken Institute conference in Los Angeles. “Maybe a big screen in your workspace, but not a tablet as such. Tablets themselves are not a good business model.”

The iPad competitor appears to be named the B10. The roadmap gives no details on its dimensions or specifications, but it looks to be a large tablet in the vein of Google's Nexus 10 and Apple's full-size iPads. Should the device materialize, it would represent BlackBerry's second attempt at breaking into the tablet segment.
This would definitely give BlackBerry a wider range of offerings. I can not help to think that ship has sailed for BlackBerry. This reminds me very much of Palms last hurrah.
