BlackBerry PlayBook Price Analysis
RIM introduced its BlackBerry PlayBook tablet yesterday, but did not say anything about how a lot it could price. This may certainly play a huge role in peoples’ buying selection, so it really is crucial that RIM set the cost right.
Our guess is that it will cost around the same as — or maybe somewhat less than — Apple’s iPad, which starts at $500. So some thing starting within the $400 to $500 range wouldn’t shock us. And if carriers subsidize it with a 2-year 3G contract, it might be nearer to $200 or $300.
It really is really pretty intelligent for RIM to not announce the cost now, given that it could possibly be 4-6 months before it ships. In that time, Apple may possibly announce a new iPad, and Android-based tablets should begin delivery.
It makes sense for RIM to see what the market place will search like in early 2011 before it announces PlayBook pricing.

To note, Marvel is a major supplier of processors for BlackBerry Bold 9700 and involved working on computer projects for education, OLPC (One Laptop Per Child).
“RIM is trying to accelerate the launching of its 7-inch screen tablet which was originally scheduled for early next year to the end of this year,” Kumar said as quoted from Cnet, on Monday (7/12/2010),. He also added that RIM’s tablet PC will have two cameras, ie in front of and behind that can be used for video conferencing.
The Canadian vendor is apparently trying to catch Apple in the realm table PC that has been successful course with the iPad. Although it can be said, RIM steps spelled out a little late. Unfortunately, as usual, RIM is still keeping the tablets PCnya and refused to comment about the truth of this news.
