- Well now that every retailer in Ontario at least is completly sold out - do you think we will see more available while this sale is on?
A couple Walmarts i talked to said they are not getting anymore and Future Shop does not know when or if they will. Most websites say 'sold out' which could mean that's it forever!! I mean it just all seems so final.11-22-11 09:03 AMLike 0 - RIM is still shipping them to retailers. The two Best Buys in Winnipeg have a good 200 units on their way each.world traveler and former ceo likes this.11-22-11 09:11 AMLike 1
- Bla1zeCB OGLol.. what exactly does that have to do with anything? Not EVERYONE who lives in Waterloo works at RIM.
Anyways, retailers are still bringing in shipments -- especially over the holidays. I went to get one at Walmart last night, there was none -- dude said more were on the way because their ad just went out, and they had none before people even saw the ad.11-22-11 09:22 AMLike 7 - Lol.. what exactly does that have to do with anything?

I'd jump on the 64GB if I can find it >$300, but even at $400 i'm debating.11-22-11 09:27 AMLike 0 - Lol.. what exactly does that have to do with anything? Not EVERYONE who lives in Waterloo works at RIM.

devices running OS2 were on display with various features we've been waiting for.
There is little doubt in my mind that PlayBooks will repopulate the shelves of retailers many more times, Futureshop is taking Backorders which means they do Plan to fill them11-22-11 09:50 AMLike 8 -
Once you start to see the total effort and get a glimpse at the behind the scene work that Rim has been doing on the release of 2.0 and the new PB server and how smooth it all works and comes together you can really start to appreciate the amount of time and commitment Rim has to the PB. Rim is not going to stop shipping or pull the plug.11-22-11 10:03 AMLike 11 - RIM reaffirmed their commitment to the PlayBook yesterday during their innovations forum in Toronto.

- Then do you think there is any truth to the rumor of getting the sales back on for the 64GB from BestBuy? Some people mentioned they were told BestBuy would be getting them back in on Wednesday (tomorrow) and the sale would probably go on again. Others mentioned that the 64GB is not going to be carried any more.
I'd jump on the 64GB if I can find it >$300, but even at $400 i'm debating.
I was in Best Buy just now, buying a case for my new Playbook. I was trying to decide and the very nice store assistant who helped me apologized for not having any playbooks for me to actually test the cases with. "No worries, I said, I got mine on Friday." He seemed quite relieved then said "Oh, so you saw the crazieness here here (at Best Buy) on Friday?" Me: "No - I got my 64G at Staples on Friday, why, what craziness?"
He said it was absolutely nuts on Friday for the Playbook. Adults were almost fighting each other (acting like kids was how he described it) and they had to threaten to stop serving them if they didn't calm down. He said the Playbooks just flew off the shelves and he'd never seen anything like it.
Anyway, as we were talking a gentleman came up and asked if they had a Playbook in stock, he wanted the 64G... the assistant said they were out, but that they were expecting more stock on Wednesday so maybe there's hope.
I was so relieved I got mine last week from Staples. I heard some Staples still have some but not sure.11-22-11 12:59 PMLike 2 - Thanks! This is great news in regards to using a BB handset as a keyboard for the PB. Does this also apply to the trackpad? I am hoping to connect the PB to my HDTV and control it with my 9900 trackpad or its touch screen (if that's an option).11-22-11 02:09 PMLike 0
