This Saturday, Blackberry announced a new secured tablet in the market called the Blackberry SecuTablet. The device will come with encrypted apps and software and will be targeted at customers such as corporations and governments. This is not the first time Blackberry has released a tablet in the market, as it had unveiled the Blackberry Playbook back in 2011. However, the device didn't see much success and was eventually scrapped. Now, the Canadian company is back in the tablet industry but this time, it is not alone. Blackberry has joined hands with Samsung and IBM to develop the SecuTablet. The device is based on Samsung's Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (so it looks and feels exactly the same) and is developed by Blackberry's sister unit, Secusmart. Samsung is involved in the development of hardware while IBM takes care of separating the work apps from the personal ones in a secure environment. The announcement of the SecuTablet is in line with the company's recent efforts to expand its base with business and government customers. In fact, its Secusmart encryption technology is already used by the Canadian and German government agencies. All the secured features of the tablet will take its price to $2350 (RM8701). It is highly unlikely that the SecuTablet will get a Malaysia release anytime soon unless of course the Malaysian Government deecides to go BlackBerry.
