Mysterious pictures appear on Vietnamese website.
While the world waits for Apple to announce a seven inch iPad, here comes an entirely unexpected addition to the rumour mill: are RIM working on a ten inch BlackBerry Playbook?
These pictures are from Vietmanese site Tinhte (http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tinhte.vn%2Fthreads%2F1413479%2 F) and appears to show a big brother to BlackBerry's underwhelming seven-incher released last year.
The tablet appears to have an iPad-esque 4:3 aspect ratio, 10-inch display and a SIM card slot, presumably for 4G.
In terms of design, the new tablet mirrors the smaller, original tablet, with a glass front and rubberised back.
According to a leaked roadmap (http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/blackberry-10-device-roadmap-leaked-1087826%20%20), a larger tablet codenamed Blackforest is due next year.
