That's because of the duo core - they stacked them on top of each other  ;D

It's 10mm thick __ 25% thinner than the iPad at 13.4mm.

There's some more info on it in today's Daily Telegraph;

RIM's stock down 4.4% on it's announcement. Someone thinks it's a loser.

I guess they announced it before Christmas so Santa holds off on buying Ipads - but not releasing it until next year... cummon!  Would be nice to know the price as well.

quite surprising.  Seems like a pretty nice tablet to me.  Perhaps the 'drop' could be seen more as a correction.  The stock rose before the announcement then like often happens the stock drops to a reasonable level after the announcement.
