RIM’s “iPad killer” isn’t out yet, but one key detail has slipped out. Apparently, the Playbook is going to cost $500 according to RIM Co-CEO Jim Balsillie:
“The iPad’s Wi-Fi-only version, sells at $499 and runs up to $699 for a 64-GB model. A 3G iPad starts at $629. Mr. Balsillie refused to set the specific price for the Playbook, but when pushed by reporters said it would sell for under $500.”
That puts it within the same range of the iPad. I guess you’d have to try out both an see which one is for you. But one thing to consider is that the Playbook has the same capabilities of the iPad, but has a 7″ screen which El-Jobso has said would be DOA. We shall soon see.
