There are two conflicting reports out on whether BlackBerry plans to continue making PlayBook or terminate the line. BlackBerry’s Product Director, Mike Al Mefleh said at a forum panel that a new PlayBook model will be introduced later this year. Meanwhile, the CEO of BlackBerry, Thorsten Heins, said in an interview with Australian Financial Review, “The business case for taking a plunge back into the tablet market was not compelling,” adding, “I wouldn’t want to do it the same way again, if I do something around tablets, I want it to be substantial and meaningful, and quite frankly it would need to be profitable as well.”
