There is a rumor floating around that the 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook is set to go on sale one week from today, July 31st, for $550. I am having a hard time buying this rumor simply because RIM would have an impossible time selling this device at that price point.
Regardless of the hardware, the entry price for 7″ tablets is $199. The Kindle Fire, and, my new favorite tablet, the Google Nexus 7, have seen to that.
The 4G LTE PlayBook will have 32 GB of RAM and LTE, however, that isn’t enough to sell this device for $350 more than the entry point.
Whether or not the 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook will launch next week remains to be seen… The leaked pricing, however, just doesn’t seem right…
