BlackBerry PlayBook launch-date palooza: tablet to finally drop in mid-April?
By Jacob Schulman  posted Mar 11th 2011 10:38PM

A round of leaks today has potentially pinpointed the second week of April as the launch window for RIM's slick seven-inch PlayBook. An email purportedly sent out by Sears up in Canada confirms earlier echoes, informing buyers that the device will up for grabs on April 10, with preorders possibly beginning as soon as tomorrow. On top of that, an image from Staples' backend sent to Crackberry pegs a 33-day count down to start on the 15th, which lines up nicely with another leaked shot denoting an "ad date" of April 17. We've also received an unconfirmed tip from a Sprint rep saying that the PlayBook would be landing on the 15th, along with an a smattering of cases and a... stylus? Finally, we've been sent shots of some PlayBook signage apparently on display in a Future Shop in Canada highlighting the device's multitasking capabilities, reminding us "it's whats on the inside that counts." Oddly, the same signage mistakenly attaches the Xoom moniker, though we'd imagine that's just a blunder on the retailer's part. Of course, all of this is still completely unconfirmed by RIM itself, so until we hear otherwise, anything could happen. Signage shot after the break, and other photo goodness available at the source link

What about the battery?Can it last 8-10 hours?

Hopefully.finger crossed..i believed the early unit will be WIFI support only..not sure if i can discuss it here but which service provider is best to subscribe?Yes?Digi?

This guy in the video managed to squeeze into his pockets..hahaha..1.31 minutes..maybe depends with the pocket size yaa..

Haha!

They haven't decide on the pricing yet as far as i'm concerned. US$499 is the opening price i think. I'll update the pricelist soon.

Oh... Got mine from Best Buy...
The other retailers don't allow for International orders...

But u must either collect in the store or have it shipped to a US address

Added on March 31, 2011, 12:19 pmIf any1 is interested I can try to get 1 or 2 additional unit in...
But must pay upfront 1st la...
Lemme know which variant of d Playbook u want

But I'll b very honest & tell u tat I'll mark up abt RM500-RM800.
This is due to delivery charges, sales tax, cost of bringing into MY, etc...
Tentative arrival date in MY is, late 1st week - erly 2nd week of May

I jus pre ordered mine... 64GB version... YAY!!!
Getting it 1st week of May in Malaysia!

Video cal already confirmed have in playbook.
Someone from crackberry forum who went to the Demo in LA few days ago wrote: "No sign of video chat or Skype preloaded - Reps said that RIM wasn't quite sure how they wanted Video Chat hosted - but did mention it will definitely be included in the BBM on the PB"
link: Playbook demo in LA

Anyway, I pre-order a 16gb Playbook from US. Hope to get it around early May.

if can, definitely i buy playbook. i hate to carry bot BB phone and playbook. I love push email on BB phone. Can not afford to leave this.
That is why i hope PlayBook can make phone call.
