An analyst said on Thursday that BlackBerry maker Research In Motion may have halted production of its PlayBook tablet computer and canceled additional tablet projects.
“We believe RIM has stopped production of its PlayBook and is actively considering exiting the tablet market,” Collins Stewart semiconductor analyst John Vihn wrote in a note.
He cited last week’s news that contract manufacturer Quanta Computer had laid off a significant number of workers at a factory focused on producing the PlayBook.
