It is just 200,000 tablets of BlackBerry has been shipped in the last quarter, which is even less then the half that shipped the previous financial three month period. The thing that makes it more worse is that there are also Playbooks unsold at retailers.

On Thursday, RIM executive talking to analysts looks ready to slash the prices of the PlayBook. Brian Bidulka, the financial head of RIM put it in the usual Wall Street lingo: “In addition to the inventory on RIM’s balance sheet, there is inventory in the channel that we will work through with our partners to sell through over the coming months”. Translation : the price cuts are coming.

RIM’s Co-CEO Mike Lazaridls echoed that message. “RIM does plan promotions this fall including special incentives for companies and rebates for consumers“, the Wall Street Journal reported. According to the Journal, the lack of consumer interest has cost RIM $754 million since the start of the fiscal 2011.

At least RIM’s isn’t quite in HP’s position, where retailers wanted the dust-gathering TouchPad off their shelves.

RIM’s investor know the foreseeable future remains challenged. It looks like a miracle to turn around the the tablet efforts after the shipping of PlayBook by 200,000 units only.

All Apple fans are hoping to get iPad 3 device by the end of this year with definitely cool jets, one expert advises. This will be rush-free to uncover a new version of iPad as a challenging devices staggering left and right. On Friday, J.P. Morgan’s and Analyst Mark Moskowitz said that Apple iPad 3 should have no rush as RIM’s PlayBook falters
. He said:
“In our view, Apple should be in no rush. The other tablet entrants have stumbled so far, and that trend-line could persist deep into 2012.”

Compairing Apple iPad 3 tablets device with Sony tablets, he said that:

“Once again, the iPad’s look-and-feel is the standard against which every other tablet must measure up. To us, Sony’s tablet lack’s the refined, glossy feel of the iPad and its bezel-like back is not user-friendly. But the real stumbling artifact for competitor is Android.”

Moskowitz accepted that Google is better off jutting with quality phones.

He said:

“Lastly, the Sony tablet runs on the Android O/S, which has failed to depot as much interest in tablets as it has in smart phones.

On Thursday, this report was strengthened, when PlayBook maker “Research in Motion” launched and had shipped just 200,000 of its iPad app tablets during the last quarter as well as sold 9.25 million Apple iPad during the same period of time. But still RIM failed to match its last quarter in selling and have only shipped 500,000 PlayBooks. In this competition, HP TouchPad has discounted its price of PlayBook to get the tablets off the shelves of dying retailers.

Apple had been reported that it is trying to launch it’s iOS for iPad something near the end of this year, but has now reportedly appointed to released it on an early 2012. Some reports have also claimed that Apple is delaying its new release of iPad 3 device due to technical difficulties  that is building of a Retina display for this device that forced the company to cancel recant plan of release for the next year.

Continued the statement for the iPad 3 release comes as TiPb notes that focus to list at least some of the currently used iPad 2 models as “out of print” in its inside store stock list scheme. Such stock list scheme can be undependable indicators, but however is not believed to be implicative of an imminent iPad 3 app launch. The reason behind the change in condition is still unknown.
