Latest news for BlackBerry PlayBook: the Research In Motion (RIM) is preparing to release the long awaited BlackBerry PlayBook at Le 19 avril to compete with iPad 2 and Moto Xoom, a month later than scheduled date. The BlackBerry PlayBook was supposed to be out the first quarter of 2011 but due to some hard ware and software difficulties, is set to be released this April 19.

From all reasons, two main reasons are most often mentioned for the delay of BlackBerry PlayBook release. One is about the touch screen glass shortage, and the other is the difficulty in getting Flash to work properly on the PlayBook. 

Trade magazine Digitimes reports that the reason that the launch of the BlackBerry PlayBook is later this month is partly because Apple tied up the supply of touch screen panels from various Asian suppliers. Apple had booked up most of the available touch screen glasses for its iPad 2 , which has postponed the manufacturing of touch screen glasses for BlackBerry PlayBook and delayed the release date.

Also, Digitimes also mentioned that aside from the touch screen glass shortage for the delay of BlackBerry PlayBook, the software testing contributes to the delay as well, mainly on the Support Flash. This problem has been a common difficulty for many other tablet PCs, like Moto Xoom, which supports no Flash even though Flash support is highlighted as a key feature. Also, the sluggish performance and battery drainage of Flash have been a big concern for all tablet PCs. And without the Flash support, the PlayBook would have noting advantageous and competitive.

It’s been six weeks since Motorola released the Xoom, and April 19 is probably as long as Adobe can wait before Flash can no longer be considered “a few weeks” late. Adobe and RIM made no response to a comment request upon this story.
