Sales have been wofeul for Blackberry’s Playbook. According to reports, the company may be sitting on 800,000 in stock. Maybe Blackberry will take HP’s playbook, mark it down to $99 to get rid out inventory. It seems its heading down the same path, Touchpad had WebOS, Playbook has Blackberry Tablet OS, neither was running Android.

The 7-inch tablet has some fairly robust hardware, including a 1GHz dual-core processor from Texas Instruments, a multitouch capacitive 1024×600 screen, front and rear cameras, Micro USB and Micro HDMI ports, and 1080p HD video. Access to 3G networks is via BlackBerry phones.

Staples began cutting the price on the 16GB PlayBook earlier this month, reducing it to $449.99 from $499.99. Now it has applied the same discount for the 32GB and 64GB models. Those drop to $549 and $649 from $599 and $699, respectively

Either way, we’ll await the forums of slickdeals for that $99 deal.
