It’s time to check on how the BlackBerry tablet is doing. Over at Best Buy, they seem quite pleased with sales so far. From the TV spots RIM has put out, they’ve highlighted how beautiful this tablet from RIM is doing.
?Best Buy has had great success selling BlackBerry smart phones in North America, so our sales expectations for the BlackBerry PlayBook were very high,? the retailer said in a statement. ?To date, we have far exceeded those expectations and we?re finding that customers are even more interested in purchasing once they?ve tested the PlayBook in the store.?
Best Buy didn’t release numbers, but they’ve been selling BlackBerry devices for some time and “far exceeded” sounds pretty good to me. That’s despite tech blogger reviews, like our Shawn Ingram’s review that can be surmised with this: ” For everyone else, stay away for now.”
Can RIM turn the BlackBerry into a winner despite the negative online press? Will RIM PlayBook potential buyers look up online reviews first or just watch the TV commercial and go and play with it for 5 minutes before bringing it home? Right now, Best Buy seems pretty happy they are coming in to play.
