Canaccord slashes RIM PlayBook sales estimates
“Our August checks continue to indicate soft sales of RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook with some retailers recently lowering prices on the device in attempt to move inventory,” they said.“With our checks indicating the iPad 2 continues to dominate sell through trends for the tablet market and our expectation for increased competition from Android OEMs such as Samsung, HTC, and even Amazon into the holiday season, we expected continued soft sales for the PlayBook.”
Having previously expected RIM to sell approximately 2.2 million PlayBooks in 2011, the investment bank now believes a 32% lower figure of 1.5 million is more appropriate. In 2012, Canaccord now estimates 2.5 million PlayBooks will be sold, 22% less than before.

Best Buy recognizes that price matters to consumers. The retailer is offering a nice discount on BlackBerry PlayBook tablets. Although the $150 discount doesn't begin to compare to the fire-sale prices of the HP TouchPad, it's still a significant discount. Now, you'll be able to pick up the 64GB PlayBook for $550. To compare, keep in mind that Apple's 64GB iPad sells for $700.

As for the manufacturing costs, Bajarin says it usually takes tech companies such as Apple three years to produce a new product and streamline the costs to the point where they can begin to significantly lower the price. In Apple's case, this is complicated by the fact the company is continually trying to improve features such as the screen quality, which brings up the cost of manufacturing. This is why the only price change Apple has introduced to date was to drop the cost of the first-generation iPad by $100 after the newer model was released. Other companies, struggling to chip away at Apple's market share, have become moreDigg Headlines

Did you know that the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet traveled the globe this summer? Developers from across Europe, Africa and the Middle East joined the Research In Motion® (RIM®) teams at Meet the PlayBook tour events and did just that.
In association with Adobe®, nearly 1,000 developers from Johannesburg to Dubai and Paris to Amsterdam got hands-on experience with the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. In fact, not only did they get to test our tablet, they got to ask the experts all about it.
Each event was designed to engage developers in the process of creating applications for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet using BlackBerry® WebWorks™ or alternate Adobe platforms, such as Adobe® Flex® or Adobe® AIR®. In order to maximize opportunities for innovation, we organized two sessions for attendees: one business-focused and the other technology-focused. This encouraged developers to explore everything from monetization strategies to the development roadmap. And of course, our attendees got hands-on time with the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet – with one lucky winner at each event taking one home!
