BalckBerry, best known for its business class smart phones with ultimate security and privacy, could not stay longer in the tablet market. Huge losses in the tablet market have forced BlackBerry to put off the burden of PlayBook at very low prices on $299. Yes! all three models of BlackBerry PlayBook 7-inc (64GB, 32GB, 16GB) are available for only $299 each. People who were thinking to buy BlackBerry PlayBook 7″, it would be the 2nd best chance to buy it. First best chance when BestBuy.com sold 16GB BlackBerry PlayBook 7″ for only $199 which is now back to $499.99 on BestBuy.com. Do yo still remember what happened with webOS based HP TouchPad ?

It looked like BlackBerry PlayBook was produced in large quantity because this discounted session will last till Feb 4, 2012: almost exactly one month. BlackBerry PlayBook 7″ is much better than Amazon Kindle Fire but the only problem is it does not run Android mean you will not have flexibility and independence of Android. Though BlackBerry announced support for Android apps but I do not know about its implementation whether it is done or not, yet. BlackBerry PlayBook 7″ has following features:

Why BlackBerry is selling all three models at same price of $299? Do they have some other plans? Normally, high spec devices are sold at high price compared to low spec devices but here BlackBerry is doing opposite.
