RIM Avoids Indian Ban Hammer, Cooperates With Security Authorities Over BlackBerry E-Mail
 Looks like RIM has dodged a bullet in India, at least for the time being.

Perhaps this news, if it's true, shows that RIM has put a bit more work into the upcoming tablet than I previously thought. However, other details in the Bloomberg report still doesn't sway my original opinion that the BlackPad will be an also-ran. Even a new OS won't save the BlackPad.
