Tablet sales worry RIM, calls for desperate measures

Tuesday, January 3, 2012


RIM had announced that in India, they were offering their Blackberry playbook for a whopping 50% discount. This was done on the occasion of the festive season starting from christmas. The Blackberry Playbook 16Gb , priced originally around INR27000 is being sold at around INR16000(don't know the exact digit of the prices).

It is quite a surprising move that RIM has taken. Inspite of a great OS, the Playbook hadn't been a great success. Its competition comes from Apple's iPad, and the pleothra of various Android powered tablets which come in all shapes, size and price bands.
