* Update: Read the Official Statement from RIM regarding this news. *
Granted, it's not the best news we've heard all day but at least the issue was recognized and all affected units -- if not sold, are being recalled. Yes, an issue has been found in over 900 BlackBerry PlayBooks that were shipped to Staples those being that of the 16GB flavor so, if you purchased yours from Staples then you may wish to check the list that can be found after the break.
Sadly, no explanation of what, exactly was faulty in the devices nor has any official communication come across as of yet but here's to hoping RIM will do the background work and with the help of Staples get them all pulled in and replaced as soon as possible. PS: The list is long -- it allows for easy searching.
