Will RIM finally crack 2 million PlayBooks in Nov quarter?
RIM's quarter finishes up this week, with announcements coming usually a few weeks after that. At the end of the August quarter, PlayBook shipments had fallen to 130,000 and lifetime shipments had been 1.74 million.
However, they've been really aggressive with selling higher memory models, both during back-to-school and with Black Friday. Sales seem to be going fairly well based upon anecdotes I've read on various forums. I'm not expecting a giant PlayBook reporting like "RIM ships 5 million PlayBooks in Q3", but with this pricing and promotion, I think an uplift over Q2 is reasonable and that we may finally get bumped over the 2 million number.
Any thoughts on what they'll report? I'm going to guess 300,000.

I am sure playbook sales well thanks to its price.

Not sure. But apps developers for bb10 will benefit the more there are in the field. More potential customers once the bb10 playbook update drops.

I couldn't agree more.

Actually there is no marketing campaigns at all for playbook especially for LTE or 3G+ even RIM only produced small amount of it.
