    RIM Blackberry / Playback

    Stopped by the RIM booth to ask a few questions you guys had in the "what do you want us to cover" thread. There was no new information about the torch. It is GSM only at this point. No timeframe for a CDMA version. I got hands on the Playback. Pretty cool tablet type device. Very thin...
