Is RIM trying to follow HP’s footsteps?
We most certainly didn’t see this one coming, despite RIM’s slow and dreadfully fast downfall, we’ve been keeping our hopes up wishing that the Waterloo-based company will survive the demise it’s currently going through.
It’s not Black Friday yet, but retailers are now giving away slashing prices of RIM’s ill-fated tablet.
A massive price cut may seem like good news to consumers but it is actually a bad sign that a company’s product isn’t doing well in the market, the tech world is completely aware of the fact that the Playbook is one hell of an impressive tablet, despite this, it’s still not as favored by the masses for reasons that are quite obvious. One of which is the fact that RIM never actually decided which market to target its Playbook tablet, either for the general consumers (mostly teens) or business-oriented individuals.
According to reports the Blackberry playbook models have all gone through a massive price-tag diet and that the base model (16GB Playbook) will now sport a $199.99 price for a limited time only. The 32GB Playbook on the other hand now boasts a $299.99 price and $399.99 for the 64GB version. (you can purchase the tablets from Best Buy, Future Shop and Staples starting today. Sale will last from November 16th to the 22nd in Quebec, and the 18th to the 24th in the rest of Canada apparently)
Despite the uncertain future of Research in Motion, purchasing a Playbook for a little under $200 is a pretty sweet deal since the hardware is more than enough for your demanding tasks and can easily handle your multimedia needs. You’re also sure to receive the Playbook 2.0 OS update this coming Spring so the QNX-based tablet will soon be able to run Android Apps officially to further maximize the device’s potential giving you access to thousands of free apps available at the ever-growing Android Marketplace.
So are you planning on getting one? How I wish I didn’t overspend at the mall yesterday.
