BlackBerry PlayBook with Verizon Wireless ?

During CES 2011, Sprint announced that they would exclusively offer the upcoming BlackBerry PlayBook on their 4G network. However, there was no official word from RIM regarding a possible Verizon Wireless iteration or how long the exclusive would last. Earlier today, one of our readers sent us a web page that offers in-depth specifications about a possible Verizon Wireless PlayBook.

The website appears is a now-closed registration portal to let people join a ”beta program” to trial a Verizon Wireless PlayBook before launch. I was initially skeptical whether this was real, but a little WHOIS look up revealed that Marketing Werks was the owner of the domain. Heading to the marketing agency’s website revealed that RIM and Verizon Wireless are clients, further hardening the evidence.

As for the hardware specifications, it features all the standards including a 1 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 7 inch multi-touch capacitive screen, WiFi a/b/g/n, a 3 mega pixel front-facing camera, and a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera. The document reveals support for 3G access through a BlackBerry smart phone, but there is no mention of support for Verizon’s new 4G LTE network.

No Honeycomb For Smartphone

Google's Android 3.0 or "Honeycomb" is a tablet-only OS for now, a Google spokesman said Wednesday.

Somewhat oddly, Google ended the launch of Honeycomb and its Web store without entertaining questions from journalists.

However, a company spokesman answered one question, and raised others. When asked if Android 3.0 would also appear on phones immediately, spokesman Andrew Kovacs said no. "Features will arrive on phones over time," he said.

"The version of Honeycomb we've shown is optimized for tablet form factors," Kovacs added, via a followup email. "All of the UI changes are the future of Android. Yesterday's event focused on tablet form factors, which is where you'll first see Honeycomb."

Kovacs didn't elaborate, but that might be because the design and layout of Android 3.0 is optimized for tablets. Although the interface is austere, the format takes advantage of the broad format of the tablet. Individual services - the browser, for example, has Incognito private-browsing windows and tabbed browsing, like Chrome - work in the tablet space, but wouldn't be as conducive to smartphones with smaller screens.

And, for now, of course, Google's some of developers are claiming that the Honeycomb performance on the Motorola Xoom far surpasses the Apple iPad.
