In a surprise move this afternoon, RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis took the wraps off of the BlackBerry PlayBook, the company's first tablet computer.  Sporting a 1 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, dual HD cameras (3-megapixel on the front, 5-megapixel on the back), and a 7-inch display, it's a direct competitor to the iPad and could be the first enterprise-level option when it comes to market in early 2011.

Unfortunately, the display units were housed behind a thick layer of plexiglass, but RIM was generous enough to let us snap a few pictures.  Take a look at the gallery below, and discuss in the comments!
