BlackBerry PlayBook Gets A USD$500 Price Tag
Slowly by slowly there’s been information seeping out about the BlackBerry PlayBook, keeping our mouths moist until the darn thing actually hits store shelves – which is very soon according the our previous PlayBook post saying it’ll out this month. And as these things go, most of the unofficial information leaked throughout the net is… unofficial. The same goes for the apparent price tag for the PlayBook – around USD$500. This figure has been summed up from an image obtained by CrackBerry that suggests that Office Depot will be offering the tablet for USD$499.99. The stated price is only for a WiFi and 16GB model however. Sprint is also planning on offering a 4G model. As for price, it could be higher due to 4G, or lower due to a Sprint service contract. The CrackBerry image also reveals information contrary to our previous blog on when the PlayBook is supposed to be released. According to the image, it is said to be released in Week 17 – which could mean within May as opposed to February like we mentioned.
