RIM to discontinue the Playbook 16GB Edition

Canada-based BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (RIM) has announced that it will discontinue the production of its 16GB variant of its tablet - the PlayBook.










The 16GB Playbook will be discontinued once its out of stock.
Online shopping websites such as Flipkart and ebay.in still show the 16GB Playbook as an in stock item. The device is currently priced at Rs. 13,990.
If you are interested, you can pick up one before the stock runs out


The biggest drawback of the device when it launched was that the user needed to own a BlackBerry smartphone to take advantage of all the capabilities of the device.
The best USP of the device till date however is that it is the best multitasking tablet available in the market. When the PlayBook received the 2.0 OS update, it brought features such as native  email, which should have been present since the device's inception. You can read about all the updates of the new OS here.
RIM has not been able to get a hold of the tablet market with more and more tabs coming in every month.

The other models i.e 32 and 64 GB versions would still continue priced near 15k and 17k respectively .
SO grab one now if you want one of these playbooks .
