I have not confirmed this anywhere, but thought it was interesting. This guy is pretty tapped into the tablet market.

That's what he reported. Said the price was slashed 80% to corporate accounts, and there was no roadmap to a replacement tablet...

Apple has dramatically changed everything, all of these companies have evidently been caught completely off guard. It's difficult to watch. RIM's stock price also took a huge hit at weeks end.

Word is that RIM only shipped 200,000 Playbooks in Q3. That's one days iPad shipments... Has to be very depressing if you are RIM
They still did ok with 10m phones though, however you can expect them to dump their tablet.
I expect to see tighter integration between their phones and iPads in their future.

Interesting statement. That may very well be the best move they could make at this point, near term at least.
