RIM demonstrates the BlackBerry PlayBook

BlackBerry maker RIM has published video highlights of the first public demonstration of a working version of the PlayBook.

Speaking at Adobe MAX, a conference for designers and developers working with Adobe products, RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis came on stage and talked through the new device, before demonstrating its ability to multitask.

The appearance might finally put to bed the rumours the tablet didn’t actually exist in any kind of working form and we think it looks pretty nifty, but don’t take our word for it, check out the video below.
