I know for a fact that RIM has been showing partners and large customers what they have in store for them with the BlackBerry PlayBook. Now we have learned from one of our readers that RIM is throwing BlackBerry PlayBook “AMP IT UP” training series in a ton of cities in the US and Canada to train sales associates and enterprise customers how to “Amp up sales with this exciting new product from BlackBerry.” It is really nice to see that RIM is making an extra effort to teach sales reps and customers why they would want to promote a BlackBerry PlayBook. An interesting kind of advertising.
I am not sure exactly what sales reps and enterprise customers RIM is targeting with this promotion but this is the text of the email they are sending out:
The wait is over! Be one of the first to experience an exclusive unveiling of the all-new BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet!
Join us to experience the super-fast, ultra-portable, professional-grade tablet, that has everyone talking. Get hands-on training from our top BlackBerry Knowledge Ninjas on live BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablets, not yet available to the public.

You have to love how they call them BlackBerry Knowledge Ninjas.
I did manage to snag what dates and locations they are holding the events at as you can see in the image. Let us know if you are going. It looks like some lucky people at the US event will win a trip to the BlackBerry PlayBook launch party. Hope to see you guys there!

If anybody is going/ has gone, please please please do a battery test. Unplug it and play with it for 15 minutes or something and check how much juice is still left.
