RBC Capital Markets General Manager Mike Abramsky believes RIM has sold approximately 250,000 BlackBerry PlayBook tablets to date. In a note to investors on Wednesday, the analyst points to channel checks in stating PlayBook sales have remained steady since the device’s launch on April 19th.

If these estimates are accurate, RIM’s PlayBook is handily outselling the XOOM , Motorola’s flagship Honeycomb tablet, which sold 250,000 units in its first two months of availability.

As it should be!! This thing while it still needs some updates, it is a beast for just being in beginning stages of an OS.

Would you say it's better than something like the XOOM? I'm waiting to see what kind of reviews the HP TouchPad gets but I've read lots of good things about the Playbook.
