April 19, 2011 definitely appears to be the BlackBerry Playbook release date. In addition to Staples and Office Depot, it now also looks like OfficeMax (barring any last minute production or supply delays) will be carrying, and have available on the Playbook launch date, the Wi-Fi models - 16GB ($500), 32GB ($600), and 64GB ($700) storage sizes.
"The new BlackBerry PlayBook tablet will be available for purchase on April 19, 2011 ....
'We are excited to expand our tablet computer selection by adding the much-anticipated BlackBerry PlayBook to the mix,' said Ryan Vero, EVP and Chief Merchandising Officer for OfficeMax. 'The BlackBerry brand is synonymous with ingenuity and world-class innovation and the BlackBerry PlayBook is no exception. The new BlackBerry tablet is being lauded by critics for its ultra-portable design, enterprise friendly set-up, and uncompromised Web experience. We believe customers who are in the market for a tablet computer will be happy to know that they can test drive and buy a new BlackBerry PlayBook at any OfficeMax retail location.'"
If you're not already familiar with RIM's new BlackBerry Tablet, it looks like it will sport some nice features. It has a 1GZ dual core processor, a 7" LCD display (1024 x 600), true multitasking capabilities, supports Adobe Flash 10.1, is boasting 10 hours of continual play time, and integrates, in real time, with your BlackBerry Smartphone so contacts, emails, BBM, tasks, and the likes are seamless between both tech gadgets. All of this will sit on top of a new operating system powered by QNX Neutrino technology.
