The Blackberry Playbook, by quintessentially Canadian Research in Motion is now out! There are many stores in Canada offering this item such as Future Shop and select other locations. April 19th is the day we have been waiting for and although the Playbook does not have Calender, or Email working in the latest offering, this should come soon. Another thing lacking is the Google Android application support, so don’t count on playing Angry Birds soon.
There will be 3 WIFI units available depending on the amount of internal storage you want, and the price ranges on that. We will be getting our hands on this later today, so expect a nice unboxing video and full review in the next few days.
On a personal note, I really HOPE RIM implements Email on this unit soon, since its the companies greatest strength.
