After the announcement of the BlackBerry PlayBook last week, RIM teased us by having a few pre-production units on display for us to drool over (see our hands-on glass first look video). One thing we noticed but somehow think we missed talking about here on the blogs was PlayBook color availability. Not only did RIM show off the typical black BlackBerry PlayBook, but they also had a bright blue one on hand. When it rains it pours, so based on the fact more than one color was displayed, I can't help but *hope* the PlayBook will be available in a variety of colors.

For John Chen's part, the answer remained mostly...
Grab a bargain with a BlackBerry PlayBook at under 80 bucks
For many of us the BlackBerry PlayBook is a thing of the past. Sure, I still have mine, but I'll be honest and say that these days I very rarely switch it on. The PlayBook itself is still, in my eyes, a great tablet - it's just with no ongoing support from BlackBerry it is I'm afraid a dying breed. But on the off chance that you did fancy picking the PlayBook at a silly price, you...
