by Vlad Andrici on November 27, 2010


The guys at Mobility Insider have recently announced they got wind of the BlackBerry PlayBook price range. If their source is correct, RIM will provide 3 models of the BlackBerry PlayBook, the only difference between them being the amount of internal storage – 8, 16 and 32GB ( where the hell is the 64GB version ? ).

So, the 8GB BlackBerry PlayBook will set you back $399, the 16GB will cost $499 and the 32GB PlayBook will be available for $599.

Also, according to the same source, the BlackBerry PlayBook won’t have built-in WWAN connectivity, which means that in order to tether a data connection you’ll have to use a BlackBerry phone, a WiFi or a Mobile Hotspot.

The BlackBerry PlayBook will be powered by a 1GHz Cortex-A9 dual core processor and will feature a 7 inch WSVGA ( 1024 x 600 ) display that supports multi-touch and gestures.

Other noteworthy BlackBerry PlayBook specs are a 5MP rear and a 3MP front-facing camera, 1080 HD video support, micro HDMI and micro USB, Bluetooth 2.1 and WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n.

RIM has also stated that the BlackBerry PlayBook will come with a browser capable of taking full advantage of Adobe Flash 10.1, Adobe AIR, and HTML5.

The BlackBerry PlayBook release date is “early 2011“.

Oh, and as a side note…the BlackBerry PlayBook plays a cameo in the recently released Black Eyed Peas Video – The Time ( Dirty Bit ) that you can catch below.

Thanks MobilityInsider for the info regarding the BlackBerry PlayBook price range.
