My 2012 playbook predictions
Things are adding up and it is starting to make sense.
RIM has already written down the PB1 inventory to relect the reality of the sale prices.
RIM through it's retail channels and their own site are dumping PB1 to the masses in order to gernerate interest from software developers and consumer buzz.
PB1 in it's current form will not be produce anymore. Henze places like BB will not be carrying them.
OS2 will be release in Feb to run on PB1 so that it will please the existing customers and hopefully get others interested.
A PB2 runing OS2 or higher with different hardware or design or size (10"???) or a combination in order to bring the retail price of the tablet up to a profitable margin but lower than the competitors in order to compete.
If the PB2 is indeed a 10" (rumor), then possiblity a smaller PB2 (same size as the PB1 but with a 7.5" screen) with a lower price could be introduced as well or a bit later.
