=RIM'S Playbook tablet to sell for under $500 = Ignite Powerpoint Presentation :

The article I have chosen to do my presentation on is the new **Blackberry Playbook** which will soon be released. The Canadian firm’s tablet, set to launch in the first quarter of next year, will start contributing to its sales. It's a tablet which is somewhat comparable to Apple's iPad. But in my personal opinion I believe it is better in terms of what it can do and the price. This article specifically talks about the pricing of the new tablet in comparison to Apple's iPad. The iPad’s Wi-Fi-only version sells at $499 and runs up to $699 for a 64-GB model and a 3G iPad starts at $629. Mr. Balsillie from RIM refused to set the specific price for the Playbook, but when pushed by reporters said it would sell for under $500. This is a great price and definately beats out the competition by Apple’s iPad. Not only does the Playbook have more features than the iPad, but now it will priced even lower, it seems that RIM has made a good move to me. In comparison to the iPad the features that the Playbook has and the iPad does not include: Adobe Flash support, dual HD cameras, BlackBerry tablet OS with support for symmetric multiprocessing, weighs less than a pound (approximately 0.9 lb or 400g) HD video recording, enterprise ready, face to face conversations, syncing with Blackberry cellular phones and competitive pricing. RIM is hoping that the Blackberry Playbook will make an ideal late Christmas gift and beat out the competition this holiday season and I believe it will.
