RIM may have had surprising success for the BlackBerry PlayBook based on a investor note from RBC analyst Mike Abramsky on Wednesday. He believed RIM had sold 250,000 of the seven-inch tablet in its first month on sale and was on track to have shipped 500,000, albeit after including 100,000 as necessary inventory. Despite lacking major features, such as native e-mail and significant apps, return had been "nominal" so far, the researcher said.
