The BlackBerry playbook is for sale since April 19 in the United States. According to analysts at Jefferies & Co, the launch of the panel 7 inches RIM is a success. Customers flocked to stores to buy the playbook. The sales would be much better than those of Xoom the day of its release.
The mixed reception from the press, particularly because of the lack of native mail application, has not reduced demand. After a day on the shelves of shops, the playbook would have sold 45,000 copies. There were 25 000 and 20 000 tablets preorders sold the first day. Jefferies & Co also states that the playbook has mainly attracted business. The iPad 2 is still far from being in danger, for the record the tablet from Apple would have convinced 500,000 fans during its launch.
