We’ve finally got some extended time with the BlackBerry PlayBook and we’re pretty excited about this upcoming tablet and feel like it could be a credible competitor to the Apple iPad and the Motorola Xoom.

Verizon and Samsung announced in their CES press conference today a handful of devices, including a one referred to as simply a 4G LTE smartphone.
