Mike Lazaridis Exit Interview Provides Some Insight

Posted: 30 Jan 2012 02:03 AM PST

Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie Years Ago

Its the only interview I have seen Mike Lazaridis give since he announced stepping down from the co-CEO position and the contents are pretty interesting. He spoke to The Record about his history at RIM but the most interesting thing I found was that Mike said he was planning on stepping down for years. They have been grooming Thorsten Heins for this since he joined RIM. They new Thorston "was a star" but and in the past three years he has proven himself.

Its a very interesting read that gives us some great insight into Mike and his desire to refocus on his family life. Check out the full interview at The Record. We wish you the best of luck Mike!

They are now back to selling the 16GB PlayBook for $199, 32GB PlayBook for $249, and the 64GB PlayBook for $299. This is all in the lead in to the PlayBook OS 2.0 launch along with a new PlayBook in the works with a faster processor speed.

The Dingleberry team has been keeping their PlayBook rooting tool up to date. Their latest upgrade brings them to v3.2.0. It now performs quite a few more of the previous functions for you along with simply making the process simpler. Definitely worth checking out if you have been wanting to root your PlayBook or even simply downgrading the version of your OS.

You can find v3.2.0 at www.dingleberry.it or check out the change log below:

Updated: Shop BlackBerry Confusingly Returns PlayBook Prices to $199 (16GB) – $299 (64GB)

Posted: 29 Jan 2012 07:37 AM PST

Update: It looks like this is not a price mistake. This new sale is valid until February 11th!

PlayBook discount

One of our readers, Lego Joe, let us know in the forums that Shop BlackBerry seems to have some sort of odd price mistake going on. The deal offering the all BlackBerry PlayBook Models for $299 was supposed to expire yesterday and instead RIM has their old promotion going. Their front page of Shop BlackBerry and the PlayBook page are offering the 16GB PlayBook for $199, 32GB PlayBook for $249, and the 64GB PlayBook for $299. The best part is the product pages say the deal expires… yesterday on January 28th. The front page of Shop BlackBerry says the deal lasts until the 11th of February.

PlayBook discount2

If you are in the market for a cheaper 16GB or 32GB Playbook then maybe you can take advantage of RIM's price mistake since it seems to let you checkout. Let us know!
