If you’re looking for a cheap 7-inch tablet and don’t mind it wearing a BlackBerry logo, you may be interested to get the PlayBook at a steep discount. Staples Canada will run a one-day “Sunday Door Crasher” sale tomorrow, offering the 16GB Wi-Fi only model for just $159. Sure there’s the new version with LTE connectivity, but you can live without 4G data just as well by tethering the tablet to your smartphone’s Internet connection when needed. Sounds pretty reasonable to me, what do you think?

You can get additional details from this page at Staples’ website.
