RIM delays launch of upcoming devices including 4G PlayBook

Research In Motion

As Research In Motion today announced financial results for its first quarter for fiscal 2012 (more on this in a bit), Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis indicated that the 4G versions of its BlackBerry PlayBook would launch in the fall. In the past, RIM had indicated that these would launch in the summer.

RIM is planning at least three 4G versions of the PlayBook. These include the WiMAX model for Sprint, an LTE version for Verizon, and an HSPA+ headed one to AT&T.

As rumours had already suggested, RIM also confirmed that the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930 would not launch until the end of August.
