Google search reveals the WiMAX BlackBerry PlayBook coming soon to Sprint

If you search Google for "Sprint PlayBook", a placeholder link "now.sprint.com/playbook" appears as first in the search results, evidently a part of Sprint's website. From there it is not hard to conclude that the 4G WiMAX version of the BlackBerry PlayBook 7" tablet will be appearing in Sprint's portfolio sooner rather than later.

Moreover, this totally coincides with the promise we will see the WiMAX PlayBook some time in the summer, which RIM and Sprint gave us back in the cold winter months. With the BlackBerry PlayBook lined up for the major US carriers, including a likely LTE version, its relative sales success so far seems poised to continue.

Are any of you on Sprint excited about RIM's tablet coming to your network with 4G connectivity?
