Colours for the Playbook?
So we have 2 playbook in our house - one for the wife (16gb) and one for me (64gb).
My wife was out shopping today, called and asked me if we should pick up a Kindle free with our Shoppers Drug Mart points for my daughters upcoming birthday - it retails in Ontario for $110.
I told her why would she want to do that when we could spend $90 more and get her a playbook. It's too bad Shoppers doesn't sell the playbook cause I could have probably persuaded my wife, but she stated she didn't want another playbook in a house with 2 already. But for the value of the playbook, you just don't get an ereader but a lot and I mean a lot more value for the price. My daughter would absolutely love her very own.
But then I got to wondering. If the playbook was available at Shoppers and we could get the deal, would my wife have been more receptive to the idea if you could get the playbook in a different colour?
I mean, why is the playbook only available in black.. was that because it was launched as a business or professional grade tablet? Would it not carry a "cool" factor especially for the youth or adults if you could get it in white, blue, red, etc. I mean how hard would it be to mould the plastic backing in a different colour and labeled the colour on the packaging? Why doesn't RIM make it available? Is it too difficult to inventory or control for warranty? I know it is easier to handle one colour.. I just think the youth and some adults may go for a playbook in an "attractive" colour other than black if it was available.
What do you think? Do you prefer the black or another colour? If not the black what colour or colors would you like to see available for the playbook?
