RIM launching PlayBook beta in February

January 19, 2011

Indeed only four companies showed tablets at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2010, and two of those products have yet to make it to market. By contrast, more than 100 companies showed tablets at CES in January, said Harry Wang, a senior analyst at market watcher Parks Associates (Dallas).

"Probably 80 percent won't be able to claim even two percent market share in a couple years," said Wang. "The Motorola Xoom was my favorite because the specs closely matched the iPad, especially in battery life," he said.
