Multiple sources are suggesting to BGR that the BlackBerry PlayBook will be releasing on April 10th. If this new rumored date is true, it will push the PlayBook’s release date behind the Apple iPad2 by a couple weeks. We originally heard that the PlayBook would be releasing late March or early April, and it looks to still be on track.
The BlackBerry PlayBook will first be sold as a WiFi only device in retail stores such as BestBuy, Staples, etc. A WiFi + 3/4G will release later to carriers. Are you still excited for the PlayBook? Do you think the iPad2′s early release will knock down the hype on the PlayBook?

I personally still plan on getting the PlayBook, but as far as I’m concerned, RIM has just lost. They promised to get a Q1 release of this beauty, but seem to have failed. iPad2 will be out way before the PlayBook and no one is going to care one bit about the PlayBook. RIM had the chance to be noticed and get their product out there and they blew it. They really did.
I was excited about the PlayBook. CrackBerry has a tablet comparison of all the tablets coming out this year. When you compare the specs of the PlayBook to the others, it either just matches them or is behind.
The Samsung Tab 10 looks wonderful and with BBM going to Android, price and price alone maybe the deciding factor on which way I go.
The biggest problem with the Samsung is that it is not a BlackBerry!
