Time to RIM-ind everyone that Blackberry is still cool

Remember Blackberry?

Before the iPhone and Android phones started dominating the smartphone market, Blackberry was king.

This was before smartphones turned more towards the average consumer population instead of just professionals in business.

Now RIM’s Blackberry is slowly dying, and even in the tablet market.

A brief synopsis, Blackberry Playbook is a tablet that is currently in competition with the iPad, Android tablets, as well as now eBook readers (who would have guessed it?). The new Amazon Kindle Fire (an ebook reader) comes with similar specs as all the other tablets out in the market, but get this: It’s only $199. The Playbook, which is already losing out to the huge amount of tablets out in the market will continue to get the short end of the stick as technology advances forward. I mean, who would pay $499 if they can get a similar or superior product for $199? I see flash sales for Playbook very soon, maybe with Black Friday coming soon in the states, as the HP Touchpad fared a similar fate.
