BlackBerry Offers a Free PlayBook, ( If You Buy Two First)


We’ve seen this deal from grocery stores and apparel retailers — but a buy two get one free tablet deal?
BlackBerry is now offering business customers a freePlayBook tablet computer with every two purchased, in a newmarketing plan running through Dec. 31. The company is likely trying to increase its share of the business user market with the deal, as few individuals purchase multiple tablets for personal use. But, dare we say, giving away a third tablet seems like the company’s gotten a bit desperate to spread the device.
Each purchase will also come with a premium accessory, such as a leather sleeve, charging pod or high-speed cable.
The 16 GB PlayBook starts at $499. The deal applies to the 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB models, although all three must be the same storage configuration.
What do you think of this deal? Does it reflect badly on the future on BlackBerry tablets or will it help spread the RIM device? Let us know in the comments.
