In what appears to be a direct response to Sprint's Friday announcement that it will not offer a WiMAX 4G version of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to its customers, Research In Motion released a statement that said future 4G PlayBook development would be focused on LTE network compatibility:
"RIM has decided to prioritize and focus its 4G development resources on LTE. We remain excited and committed to delivering innovative and powerful 4G tablets to the US market together with our carrier partners. Testing of BlackBerry 4G PlayBook models is already underway and we plan to enter labs for network certifications in the US and other international markets this fall."
So far, no major U.S. carrier has offered a 3G or 4G version of the playbook, though Sprint currently offers the Wi-Fi only version to its customers
