RIM's PlayBook tablet pulled from US online stores | PCWorld

Anybody have a guess? Funny timing, with all the new tablets coming out soon. Surely RIM will get their phone business back on track before wasting resources on a new tablet.

Given how tiny (less than 1%) Playbook sales have been, even with deep discounts, and new mini iPads coming out, a new Playbook would be a very bad idea. Stick to smart phones. Pray for BB 10.

This is not true. They were not pulled, they simply are sold out.

I think this was a rumor started by a BlackBerry site - probably for page views.

This article also says BB10 is coming out this year, and will be on the new PlayBook.

I believe this is the definition of an epic fail.
