RIM plans to give out BlackBerry PlayBooks for free to attendees of DevCon

Who says that developer conferences are boring? Well, we’d bet that attendees of BlackBerry DevCon Americas, which is being held between October 18th to the 20th in San Francisco, are going to be ecstatic knowing what’s in store for them at the event.

From the sound of it, RIM will be handing out free BlackBerry PlayBook tablets to each and every registered attendee at the event. Typically, attendees are normally showered with smaller gifts such as sweatshirts, jackets, or some other wearable apparel, but this time around, they’re really spicing things up. In fact, this is the second time this year that RIM is going handing out PlayBooks seeing that they did the same thing for BlackBerry World.

Needless to say, there are going to be plenty of people smiling from ear to ear when they’re finally given a brand spanking new tablet. Even better, we’re really hoping that RIM comes to the table with some great news related to the PlayBook – like maybe announcing the availability of a major update that will further enhance the tablet’s functionality.
