RIM Exec Insists BlackBerry PlayBook Coming in March

With the latest rumors having the BlackBerry PlayBook launching on April 10th this is a breath of fresh air. The PocketLint team got a one on one interview with Stephen Bates, Head of UK Management Teat at RIM, that while the BlackBerry PlayBook will launch in the UK in early Q2. He also said that “Its end of Q1 for the US” and that “Europe is Q@… The UK will be one of the early ones.”

That US Q1 means we might still be seeing the BlackBerry PlayBook start rolling out in the US THIS MONTH. I doubt it will beat the iPad 2 and its March 11th launch date but still it could be closer than we think. I am really hoping Stephen Bates is on the money with this confirmation. Otherwise he is just a tease! via Electronista
