"Rumours suggesting that the BlackBerry PlayBook is being discontinued are pure fiction. RIM remains highly committed to the tablet market and the future of QNX in its platform."

RIM PlayBook; RIP?
Here's a quote from RIM spokesperson Marisa Conway, rejecting claims of the PlayBook's demise as speculation:
The key part is "RIM remains highly committed…". If the PlayBook was selling well they would have said "The PlayBook is selling well and is on course to take x% of the market in 2011", or something along those lines. I suspect that PlayBook is dead and RIM are just waiting for it to stop twitching before they give it a decent burial. PlayBook hasn't taken anything from iPad and anyone wanting a smaller form factor will almost certainly now buy Amazon's new Kindle Fire. I give PlayBook about six weeks.
