Dany Bolduc, VP of Research In Motion In Thailand, and the BlackBerry PlayBook
Dany Bolduc, VP of Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam at Research In Motion, said “The BlackBerry PlayBook will offer customers in Thailand an amazingly powerful experience in an incredibly portable 7″ tablet design. Thanks to the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet’s premium hardware features and sophisticated QNX-based operating system, users will enjoy an exceptional browsing and multimedia experience.”
The QNX-based operating system that Bolduc is referring to is RIM’s BlackBerry Tablet OS. Recently RIM released their third update to the ever-growing OS and they show no sign of slowing the updates down. The Tablet OS is a brand new venture for RIM, one they started on last year but entered the market with a physical product this earlier this year.
