RIM is offering business customers a completely free BlackBerry PlayBook... when they buy two.<br />
The 'Back to Business' promotion, which RIM says is aimed at kitting-out small businesses with PlayBooks will run from now until December 31st 2011.<br />
The somewhat desperate attempt to shift some of RIM's over-flowing PlayBook inventory will include three free accessories per tablet.<br />
Buyers will get a 6ft HDMI cable, a black leather sleeve and a charging pot absolutely gratis.<br />
<h4 style="font-size: 1em;">
Software update delayed</h4>
The 'special offer' comes after RIM revealed, this week, that it would be delaying a much needed PlayBook software update until February 2012.<br />
The PlayBook is yet to gain a native email application, while the long-promised Android app player remains a pipedream.<br />
<h4 style="font-size: 1em;">
Week to forget</h4>
All-in-all, it has been another week to forget for the Canadian giant.<br />
The software delays caused stocks to crash once again, while on Wednesday night it was hit with a class action lawsuit over the internet services outage which left millions without BBM and email earlier this month.<br />
Tech Radar has contacted RIM to ascertain where this offer extends to UK businesses.<br />
