Even amongst the ever increasing competition, it seems that Research in Motion is fairly confident of the success of its upcoming business-minded tablet, the Playbook. According to that perennial source of third-party supplier rumors, DigiTimes, the BlackBerry manufacturer will be shipping more than one million PlayBook tablets in the first quarter of this year. BlackBerry parts provider Quanta would not comment on the number.
The tablet, which was announced back in late October, made a public debut last week at CES in Las Vegas–along with around 80 or so other tablets. Unlike the largely Android-and Windows 7-based tablets, RIM’s version runs the company’s own proprietary software.
DigiTimes recently reported that another top tablet from CES–Motorola’s Xoom–is expected to ship between 700,000 to 800,000 units.
