‘PlayBook death pure fiction’ — RIM

Rumours that Blackberry was discontinuing its line of PlayBook tablets have been dismissed by Research in Motion (RIM). Research in Motion has assured its users that it remains committed to the production of the PlayBook.

The rumours spread after analyst John Vhin stated that production on the tablets had halted.

Vhin said, “We believe (RIM) has stopped production of its PlayBook and is actively considering exiting the tablet market. Additionally, our due diligence indicates that RIM has cancelled development of additional tablet projects.”
