The smart move would be to ensure their corporate BES clients (i.e. me) get some form of dibs. After all, if it is perceived as a business-first device, why prioritise consumers? We have a small number of self-bought Playbooks in house now - with a large number we might consider getting some apps written (even given the SDK issues)
They should also be smarter than HP and sell cheap bundles, not cheap devices, to get some kudos from their manufacturer and channel partners. Their resellers will want to ensure all their Playbook shelves clear, including cases, chargers and other accessories. Something like a $199 16Gb with case and charger rather than a $99 or $149 bare device and trust the consumer not to cheap out.
