Research In Motion co-CEO Jim Balsillie revealed on the company's second-quarter earnings call that RIM would soon be dropping prices on its
BlackBerry PlayBook tablets.
While the new price points have not yet been disclosed, it looks like
the first move in carriers' efforts to clear their shelves actually
started this past Tuesday. Long-time RIM comrade Rogers has launched an
internal sale on each of RIM's three PlayBook models, and company
employees are now able to purchase the slate at discounts of up to 50%
off. Normally $499.99, the 16GB
BlackBerry PlayBook
tablet is now just $249, the 32GB model drops to $349 from $599.99, and
the high-end 64GB PlayBook drops to $399 from its normal $699.99 price
tag. While it is unclear what RIM plans to charge end users for the
PlayBook moving forward, these prices could give us an idea of what's in
store.
