Office Depot Now Taking Pre-Orders For the BlackBerry Playbook, Shipping April 19th

The tablet that you might be waiting for is almost here. The BlackBerry Playbook is now available for pre-order at Office Depot. Prices are the same as the iPad 2 so now you have a choice to make. The 16GB model will cost you $499, 32GB for $599, and 64GB for $699. For now they're only WiFi models so you're going to have to wait a bit more for those 3G and 4G models. Check it out on Office Depot if you want to pre-order one.

Update: BGR has just pointed out that the Playbook will be available at Office Depot starting on April 19th - as expected!
