Best Buy To Sell Tablets, CTO tweets RocketFish tablet pics

Obviously, Best Buy was going to start selling a tablet soon…  that isn’t a surprise., however it is a bit surprising that its CTO Robert Stephens shot a few pics of the tablet branded RocketFish and tweeted them out over Twitter earlier today.

Beyond the shot above and the one after the break, we don’t know much about the HP Slate-looking tablet — although, Stephens tweeted later that it’s a “form factor proto” with no guts inside.

He had also said about a month ago on Twitter that “the tablet has a front facing camera….runs Froyo 2.2.” We’re assuming that he’s talking about the same tablet you’re peering at above, but we never know what those blue shirts are up to.

Obviously, we started following Mr. Stephens already and will be keeping a close eye on him and his new, apparently non-functioning gadget.

Maybe the iPad will have some competition, sometime, eh?  Probably not for awhile.  How big of a jump start will Apple end up getting on the next company in the tablet ring.
