Say it ain't so. Word is that RIM's new Blackberry Playbook with 4G LTE will launch on July 31st for $550 retail.

As usual specs aren't the greatest, well I guess the 1.5Ghz dual core CPU could work but still nevertheless it lacks the finesse. I think people who are currently BB users will definitely buy it.

As for the specs, we have those too: 7-inch display with a resolution of 1024 x 600, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 4G LTE (and HSPA+), OS 2.0, 1GB RAM, 5MP rear camera that shoots 1080p HD videos, 3MP front-facing camera, 4800 mAh battery and will only come in a 32GB version. Overall dimensions are 130 x 193 x 9.7mm and weighs in at 425 grams.

Hopefully this is an old document regarding the price, otherwise they will have some issues selling...

I love my BlackBerry, but RIM is kidding themselves if they think they can sell this PlayBook for $549

The only thing that RIM has going for them is the quality of the hardware. For $550, I would rather buy an iPad. I hate iOS, but Gorilla Glass + Retina Screen beats the PlayBook.

As for the Nexus 7, the jury is still out. However, I doubt the quality of the hardware is no where near the quality RIM or Apple is pushing out to market.
