Price Ranges for the BlackBerry Tablets
The 8GB memory phone went for $400. This was a good starting price for a tablet with the capacity of multitasking and providing platforms for state-of-the-art technology. The BlackBerry PlayBook price for the 16GB model was $500; and the price for double this amount of space was $600. Clearly, internal memory space has a lot to do with the technology adopted, which gives the manufacturer reasons to state the given prices. Nevertheless, the performance and efficiency of each of these phones can be put to the test. BlackBerry support confirmed that the 16GB model was faster than the 8GB and so was the 32GB. Other factors that make one model more expensive than another have a lot to do with the internet gateway options that the phones have. RIM has not been able to get the WWAN working for the current version of the BlackBerry, but promises to do so in the near future. Probably, this will be one of the distinctive features that will give the BlackBerry price a hike over its previous models.
The internet connection possibilities seem to dictate a lot in the price range of mobile industry products. Take for example Samsung, which made sure that different versions had different carrier options. Depending on the number of options and the consequent advancement in the options that the phone may have, a price tag is placed on the Samsung phone. The BlackBerry family still lacks a strong hold on the internet capabilities of their phones, in comparison with other brands from other companies. Nevertheless, RIM promises to work on this minor flaw to improve on the latest versions of its tablets.
The iPad has a price tag of $500 for a 16GB internal memory tablet. Clearly, with their cutting edge technology, it stands as a viable competitor to the BlackBerry PlayBook. RIM has its own reason for giving this price but, very soon; it may want to consider having a tighter grip on this price tag.

How to Protect Your BlackBerry PlayBook
If you’re looking for minimum protection, a BlackBerry skin is the way to go. Made from soft texturized silicone, this shell protects your PlayBook from typical bumps, scrapes and scratches, while also preventing it from sliding on smooth surfaces. Type, play or game away without worry. Available in a variety of colors, a BlackBerry skin is a great affordable option to keep your device protected while continuing to give you full and convenient access to all ports – including your camera and charging plug. The BlackBerry skin is one of the PlayBook accessories that can be used with the zip sleeve for added protection.
For moderate protection, the neoprene sleeves are fun, soft and form fitted to the PlayBook and offer easy coverage. Simply slip your PlayBook in the sleeve and you’re off to your next destination. The neoprene sleeves are also available in a variety of colors and are an affordable and smart way to protect your device.
For full coverage, there are plenty of PlayBook accessories from which to choose.

If you’re looking for something that’s a little more high-end, the journal case has a pebbled leather exterior and a soft microfiber lining. The journal case closes with an elastic closure and looks like a sleek folio.
Other leather case options include a leather envelope style which has a patterned lining, or a leather sleeve that offers distinct style. All BlackBerry case, envelope and sleeve options provide full access to media ports and charging station, keeping everything you need at your fingertips.
