16GB PlayBook could be gone soon

Research in Motion’s PlayBook is a very nice tablet – sadly, its sales have not really picked up so far.

Mobile Business Briefing now reports the following:

Reuters reports that RIM is to phase out the entry-level 16GB PlayBook once current stocks are depleted, but will continue to produce the 32GB and 64GB versions of the device, which are understood to offer better margins.

RIM sold the 16GB version for US$199, while the 32GB and 64GB models are priced at US$249 and US$299, respectively.

Not much to add here…
