RIM Promoting BlackBerry PlayBook with “BlackBerry Rocks Tour”

While RIM may not be advertising the BlackBerry PlayBook they are throwing a “BlackBerry Rocks Tour” for it. I have managed to confirm that they are having one in New York City tomorrow along with a few other cities I have discovered are also throwing BlackBerry Rocks Tours. Above is a screenshot of the email they have been sending out to VIP’s that one of our tipsters sent along. I am just kind of happy to hear that RIM is at least marketing/promoting the BlackBerry PlayBook to businesses!

Here are the cities I have confirmed will be hosting the BlackBerry Rocks Tour:

• April 7th New York City
• April 12th Boston
• April 19th Chicago
• April 21st Toronto
• April 26th Philadelphia
• May 2nd Washington DC
• May 17th Seattle
• May 24th Los Angeles

The tour seems to be targeted at businesses and here is the text of the invite:
