Bloomberg reports that the Co-CEO of RIM Jim Balsille was in Seoul, Korea for an interview and said that the BlackBerry PlayBook will be very competitively priced somewhere under $500. The PlayBook is slated for launch sometime during the first quarter of 2011 in the US and globally in the second quarter. This doesn’t give RIM much time to set the stage although the specs on the PlayBook looks to blow the current competition out of the water. We will have to wait and see on that one though. RIM is also looking into partnering with Best Buy and Target to sell the 7inch tablet.
