That is announced after not being able to reach target profit for the Q1 2013. BlackBerry’s sole justification of leaving PlayBook behind is that they wanted to focus and give more attention to core products since it wasn’t able to deliver good performance in terms of profit.

Remember what Heins said in an interview? “In five years I don’t think there’ll be a reason to have a tablet anymore.”

BlackBerry PlayBook was released in April 2011. It did received an update to it’s OS dubbed PlayBook OS 2.0 last year that enhanced the independence of the tablet from a BlackBerry smartphone and also had the ability to sideload Android applications.
