The day BlackBerry PlayBook hopefuls have been waiting for — RIM has officially priced the three different versions of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. WiFI-only PlayBooks will start at $499 for 16GB. The 32GB PlayBook will set you back $599 while the 64GB option will tip the scales at $699. Hopefully RIM can meet demand on launch day, April 19th, in which over 20,000 different retail locations across the U.S. and Canada will begin selling RIMs tablet. However, if you’d like to get a jump on situation, Best Buy has a pre-order page where they tempt you with the phrase “Order early. Brag often.” Full list of launch retailers after the jump…
