| Best Buy Sold Out of BlackBerry PlayBooks – Shop BlackBerry Experiencing High Volume Posted: 29 Nov 2011 03:43 AM PST
We noted earlier today that Best Buy had stopped selling the BlackBerry PlayBook at the $199+ discount price and wondered what was going on. Customers complained of their orders being cancelled and some thought Best Buy was pulling the PlayBook from its store. Turns out there is a different much simpler reason. Best Buy put out the following statement about the PlayBook confirmed by RIM:
The other interesting thing is that RIM's own Shop BlackBerry site has this message on their BlackBerry PlayBook page:
In other words it looks like the BlackBerry PlayBook market is growing fast! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| New SSH Telnet & Rlogin Client Based on PuTTY for BlackBerry PlayBooks Posted: 29 Nov 2011 12:55 AM PST
I am really indebted to Dmytro Mishchenko right now. This week he released a new Telnet SSH client for the BlackBerry PlayBook. This new client is based on PuTTY and supports the SSH, Telnet, and Rlogin protocols. This app is built on the work from PuTTY, qPuTTY, and the QT Library so it has a long legacy to build on. The SSH Client still has a way to go to be the perfect SSH client for the BlackBerry PlayBook but it definitely is the current best option for SSH on the PlayBook. You can pick up SSH Client for the BlackBerry PlayBook for $1.99 in App World If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Rooted BlackBerry PlayBook Shown Off On Video Showing Off Hulu Posted: 28 Nov 2011 05:10 PM PST This keeps on getting better. It looks like the BlackBerry PlayBook root exploit we told you about before is real. The developers behind it, @xpvqs @cmwdotme @neuralic, have been hard at work hacking away at the BlackBerry PlayBook. Both Chris Wade and Neuralic have posted up videos showing off the exploit. See that screenshot above showing the UID 0? That means they have root (super user) access on the PlayBook. The first video shows the PlayBook root access from a PC and what that allows you to do. Supposedly that also allows you to load up Android Market on the Playbook OS 2.0 beta and directly install APK files without converting them into BAR files. In the second video Chris shows off Hulu working in the PlayBook browser which was most likely done by changing the user agent with root access.

| RIM Employees Also Getting Slick Discount on BlackBerry PlayBooks Posted: 28 Nov 2011 10:57 AM PST
I have been hearing about these discounts for awhile but Mackie let me know about a thread on RedFlagDeals Canada that really highlights it. RIM has been offering their employees BlackBerry PlayBooks for $99 (16GB), $149 (32GB), $199 (64GB). There is a catch that they have to pay benefit tax on it which brings up the price $30-$40 so its not that crazy of a deal. On the other hand RIM is throwing in extras for the 32GB and 64GB models like cases and HDMI cables. Check out all the details here and try to hit up your friends at RIM if they owe you a favor… If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

Over the weekend Gokulesh let us know that Gameloft slashed the price on a few of their BlackBerry PlayBook games. From what he heard these price cuts are permanent price reductions which is pretty sweet. This sadly does not include all of Gameloft's PlayBook titles but it does include:

| Indonesia BlackBerry Bold 9790 Launch Craziness Leads to Event Organizer Being Named as Suspect Posted: 28 Nov 2011 06:39 AM PST
When I first heard of all the craziness that went on in Jakarta, Indonesia BlackBerry Bold 9790 launch I thought it sounded kind of sensationalist but it keeps on getting more interesting. In case you didn't hear RIM launched the BlackBerry Bold 9790 in Jakarta last week with a sale offering 50% off (about $250 sale price) for the first 1,000 people to purchase the device. This had people lining around the store from the day before. Originally organizers told those waiting that they would need a red bracelet from management to purchase the device but protestors rioted when they realized that the store was no longer enforcing the rule.
The crowd then, I kid you not, surged through the protective barrier to stampede the store crushing many people one the way in to buy the discounted BlackBerrys. It looks like up to 90 people feinted and many were sadly injured. Three even had fractured or broken bones. Still this is the first time I have ever heard of such a thing happening at a BlackBerry sale event. According to the Jakarta Globe (thanks Ron Ish) The Jakarta police have named one of the event organizers as a suspect:
They also seem to be questioning BlackBerry officials on how they did not provide enough security. Check out the details here and here from the Jakarta Globe. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Best Buy Cancelling BlackBerry PlayBook Orders? No Longer in Stock? Posted: 28 Nov 2011 06:37 AM PST
We have been hearing from contacts at retail stores that the BlackBerry PlayBook is selling very well with its current $199 price point. Today is Cyber Monday and I am sure even more of these devices are going to be flying off shelves but there is an interesting development happening. Electronista noticed that Best Buy has removed the BlackBerry PlayBook models from their website right before Cyber Monday (Today) even though the promotion is supposed to go until December 3rd. The odd thing is their PlayBook page redirects to their BlackBerry smartphone page now at www.bestbuy.com/playbook. There are also Best Buy customers reporting that orders are being dropped even if the order is already charged and ready. The Best Buy forums suggest that they may be "overextended" whatever that means though we have heard RIM has tons of PlayBooks in their channels. Stores like OfficeMax and Staples also have the PlayBooks in limited stock or only certain models. Its hard to guess exactly what is happening but we will reach out to RIM to see what they have to say! Either way you can still pick one up for the same price or lower directly from RIM.
