The cheapest price ever for the tablet.
For the next 24 hours, 1SaleaDay has the BlackBerry Playbook tablet on sale for $300, down from its MSRP of $500.
The model available is the smaller 16GB version, but this is still the cheapest the tablet has been and likely a sign that an across-the-board cut is coming in the near future.
RIM sold 500,000 PlayBooks in its first quarter of availability but sales have dried up now, with the company only moving 200,000 last quarter.
The PlayBook features the standard 1GHz dual-core processor and 1GB RAM but its real differentiating factor is its Internet experience. The browser has support for Adobe Flash, Adobe AIR, and HMTL 5.
Additionally, the PlayBook has a 7-inch screen, 1024x600 resolution, dual cameras, a microHDMI port and the BlackBerry App World, which has thousands of apps.
The main reason the tablet has been universally hated is the fact that RIM botched the software launch so badly there was not even a native email client.
