BlackBerry PlayBook and Motorola Xoom to be availale in India very soon.

After the launch of the iPad 2 in India, other manufacturers are gearing up to launch their tablets in India pretty soon.

Apple caught everyone off guard by launching the iPad 2 within 3 months of its US launch.

The BlackBerry Playbook which received a pretty ordinary response from reviewers is already available for pre-order on HomeShop18.




The Motorola Xoom, which is a honeycomb tablet and has received outstanding reviews from people all over the world is also available for pre-order on HomeShop18.



These two tablets will definitely eat into Apple's share of the tablet market in India. The iPad 2 went out of stock in India in just 1 day of its launch, we don't expect anything like that to happen with any of these two tablets, but still the Xoom will catch a lot of eye balls.

In terms of pricing too, the iPad seems to have an upper hand over the PlayBook. The 16GB model is priced at Rs. 32,999, 32GB is priced at Rs. 39,299 and the 64GB model is priced Rs. 45,999.

The 32 GB model of Xoom would cost you Rs 38,500. These prices are obviously more than what you would pay when the devices are actually launched and available off the shelves in India.

An official statement from both BlackBerry and Motorola is expected in the coming days.
