Blackberry is expected to release the new blackberry Playbook which will be called Blackberry Playbook 2 in May or June this year at the Mobile World Congress next month in Barcelona. We had reported that The Carphone Warehouse has reduced the price of Blackberry Playbook earlier version which could be indicating the release of Blackberry Playbook 2 is near.

Does anyone has news on this? Is it true? If it is true would would you need for you to buy it?

Mobile World Congress already happened in Late Feb-Early March

So I guess the answer is no, it's not true. The story was Posted By Frezza On April 30th, 2012 . So I don't know what's going on what that. The comments are closed.

While they may release a PlayBook with a 3G/4G radio...we do not when this will be happening.

Very possible we see some news at BlackBerry World starting tomorrow in Orlando

There is a Playbook, 1.5 ghz with 3g or 4 g or something, but thats pretty much it. It wont be such a huge redesign. That picture is fake, everything blackberry 10 is coming out with the same ratio for screen size, that screen is alot more square and they are not going to add buttons its gesture based.

If it does come out will there be enough upgrades to it to justify $500 upgrade? No I don't know if that is what it will cost but if it is comparable to the pricing of my current PlayBook it should be there in costs. I hope it does come out and kick azz but it better be a lot better thought out then the current PlayBook advertising campaign was.

Lol, all the guy said in the heading was 'this year'.
Gee, my mom said she also heard this from some guy who knew some guy who used to be a RIM rep.
Serious!

The person that put together that picture of the Franken-playbook has really bad Photoshop skills

When they get some more or better business apps is when they should release the new playbook. When bbm is released for playbook is when they should release a new playbook. Hopefully tomorrow we will see something wonderful for playbook and I'm not talking about abs.

Why does it look like a distorted iPad faked as a BlackBerry device?

Leave the iPad alone...what it does it does well...sell PlayBooks.

Yeah, they still need to get the idea of a blackberry tablet to become more popular first. Things are coming along but they need to get bb 10 out, then put it on the current playbook while getting out a few bb 10 phones

Well if it does come out it should be priced competitively at $150 or something similar, it won't sell at much higher. Besides there's still no apps available, not the ones the majority want anyway.

I personally would wait and see how it performs. And if it does end up at $500, well, why not just buy an iPad?

Tons of better options at that price, Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, also a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 for $249. Then there's all the no name brands but still with Android and all the popular apps in tow.

I would instantly root the Tabs though, horrible UI overlay with Touchwiz.

There is this WAKE UP marketing by RIM Australia and its pointing to July. This could be the release of Playbook 2
