Bangalore: RIM -CEO Mike Lazaridis said that the platform used in its Playbook tablet is also targeted for future smartphones that run more complex, multi-core processors. The company is launching the 7-inch PlayBook in the first quarter of 2011, in a bid to challenge the dominance of Apple's iPad. "By focusing on the tablet market, we see an opportunity to free where the smartphone can go. When we have multi-core processors across the board, they'll all be running the Playbook platform," Lazaridis said. When it would arrive in BlackBerry smartphones is something that we have to wait and watch. Even though the company has not disclosed sales targets for the PlayBook, the analysts forecast between 2 million and 4 million shipments next year.
