BlackBerry PlayBook gets price cut in UK
Published Thursday, Jan 5 2012, 17:40 GMT | By Mark Langshaw | 7 comments
The 16GB version of the tablet now costs £169 in the territory, while the 32GB and 64GB models are available at £199 and £329, respectively.
RIM launched the BlackBerry PlayBook in the UK seven months ago, with the 16GB version priced at £399. The manufacturer previously slashed the price of the device in North America following below-par sales.
HP's TouchPad saw a sales surge in the UK market when the firm reduced its price to £89 ($99). Sony is rumoured to be lowering the cost of its Tablet S in the region following a price cut in the US.
Apple's iPad is the world's bestselling tablet by a significant margin, though the device is facing increasing competition from Amazon's Kindle Fire. Earlier today, it was reported that Google is planning a move into the sector.
The BlackBerry PlayBook is available in the UK under the new price structure for selected retailers, including Carphone Warehouse and PC World.
