BlackPad
Creative isn't it
Looks a lot like their Storm phone line but much bigger. I'm hopping they ditch their Surepress technology and just keep it a simple touch screen device.
I suspect this device is going to run their BlackBerry OS6 version just released earlier this month. While that OS is not so revolutionary, it is an attempt to stay competitive. However one of the key features this OS provides over Android and iOS is the seamless integration to it's contacts and social Media. Another key feature will be data crunch. RIM has put a lot of effort in reducing the bandwidth load. So for those in data tier plans, like AT&T, this device will be viable option.

Bloomberg's sources, Apple Daily claims that Quanta won the bid to manufacture the tablet with plans to ramp up for 2 million units starting in September (for a November retail launch) with another 8 million planned for 2011. The price? $499 is the target, naturally. (more via engadet...)
