IKEA UK Buys All Staffers BlackBerry Playbooks

I admit it. I'm an IKEA junkie. I love walking through the store and seeing whats new and what cheap things I can find. Well, I have to admit, this story is something else for someone like me. Being a BlackBerry junkie as well as an self-professed IKEA junkie, my jaw hit the floor.

In a wonderful Christmastime gesture, IKEA UK purchased a brand new 64GB PlayBook for close to 4000 of it's staff members. That's a magnificent gift to start with and the folks over at UK BlackBerry tweeted that they had heard about what IKEA had done.


If you follow @UK_BlackBerry you can read just how happy the IKEA employees and their friends and families are about receiving such a gift.
