On Tuesday, RIM ushered in the new year with a price cut, reducing all of its PlayBook tablets to $299, regardless of the tablet's storage capacity.
The PlayBook price cut only applies to the RIM online store, where all of the RIM PlayBook tablets are equally priced at $299, whether or not they have 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of capacity. RIM normally sells the PlayBook for $499, $599, or $699, depending on the onboard storage. The URL of the link suggests that the price cuts went into effect on Dec. 22.
