They greatly reduce the price of the PlayBook

RIM partners also assist in the sale of the Company's machines through promotions and other promotions. Now the company is also helping. Not a little.

They decided on a large discount after evaluating last month’s sales, and as a result, decided on major conversions. From now on, more energy will be invested in the software page, including more frequent updates, and a $ 200 reduction in the price of each version, regardless of the original price. As it turned out, sales were extremely weak, with only 200 units shipped in the last quarter of the year.

Staples and Office Depot and Best Buy also use the discount using a similar technique, releasing $ 100 at the store price, giving the remaining 100 in a Best Buy purchase voucher, while the other U.S. store mails the other $ 100. So ultimately the 16GB version drops from $ 499 to $ 299, the 32GB version changes from $ 599 to $ 399, and finally the price of the model with the largest 64GB storage is $ 699 instead of $ 499 can be ours. There is no news of further reductions, so it is not known if there will be a change in other markets.
