If you buy two BlackBerry PlayBooks, you can get one free
RIM is desperately trying to fix its many, many, many problems that it has created over the past few years. It does that in a few ways, most recently by having one of its two CEOs publically apologize for server outages and giving away $100 worth of free apps. But its biggest problems aren't in what it's lacking; it's what the company does have. And what do you do when you have something you don't want? You give it away at dirt-cheap prices.
While I have to commend RIM for trying to do that, I still have to point out that it isn't doing it in the proper way. Today, RIM announced that it's going to start a "buy two, get one free" BlackBerry PlayBook campaign. Let's stop right there for a second and think: who needs three of the same tablet?!
On top of that fact, the cheapest PlayBook (the 16GB model) is $500. If you went for this deal, even spending the least amount of money, you'd still be throwing $1000 away for a tablet that is seriously behind the competition.
RIM, if you want to make money, just make a serious, good product. And stop lying to people. It gets really old after a while.
