BlackBerry playbook falls to $ 199 free for developers

The 16GB RIM playbook back in balance and this time it's share of $ 199, $ 100 less than the discounts start in January, well $ 300 $ 400 cheaper than the original price of $ 599. Even models with 32GB and 64GB are offered at a discounted $ 249 and $ 299 respectively. Again, unfortunately the offer is only valid for U.S. online store, while here the price for the 16 GB version remains well € 299, almost double.

There is certainly a good time for the tablet branded BlackBerry, after Kindle Fire Tablet and Nook have made ​​a clean sweep of the tablet market by launching a trend of low-cost models are capable of doing nearly everything they do their cousins expensive.

A complicating matters is the proprietary operating system of the playbook, put himself totally overshadowed by the global success of Android. Gap set to drop slightly at the exit of the playbook 2.0, the updated version of the OS scheduled for this month, which should guarantee a certain number of apps converted directly from the operating system Android.

Conversions that are stimulated by an initiative that provides a playbook for free to all developers who convert their app for the new operating system.
