BlackBerry news site CrackBerry had confirmation from Research In Motion (RIM) that "approximately 1,000" 16GB PlayBooks were shipped with a faulty operating system that might result in the tablets being "unable to properly load software upon initial set-up".
"The majority of affected devices are still in the distribution channel and haven't reached customers. RIM is working to replace the affected devices," said a spokesperson for the Canadian company.
