The price leaks for the BlackBerry PlayBook put it on a level with the Advent Vega, over £100 cheaper than an unlocked BlackBerry Torch, and way below an iPad. But are these prices too good to be true? Earlier this month, RIM co-Chief Executive Officer Jim Balsillie said the BlackBerry PlayBook would be under $500 ($310), and yesterday more specific prices leaked, placing the PlayBook at between $399 (£256) and $599 (£384). But are these prices too good to be true? Are you turning away from the Vega, and in the direction of the PlayBook as we speak? Click and tell…

Later on today we’ll be getting locked down for the Apple event, which starts in the UK at 6pm. But what’s going to be announced? There’s been a leak today by Apple itself, confirming iLife ’11, and probably the MacBook Air. There are also some heavy handed clues in the press invite, the glimpse of a Lion behind an Apple logo, but as we well know here at Electricpig towers, Apple have a habit of bringing out extra surprise announcements. The last Apple event invite featured a guitar, but on top of new iPods, Apple also announced Apple TV. So while there are safe bets to be made today, there’s lots more that’s still in the runnings: Apple TV app store anyone?

What do you think is coming? Click and tell, choose more than one, and drop us your hunches and wildcard guesses…

Long live the touchscreen…

After news that the launch date for the Nintendo 3DS is going to be all the way into next year, not Christmas like we expected, the 3DS also got a price for Japan, and we were assured by Nintendo president Saturo Iwata that 3DS games would not be more expensive than usual DS games.This got us thinking: if we had the choice, what would we prefer? To spend top dollar on a console, or extra cash on games?
