Thinking about getting a Playbook, but worried you won’t be able to buy enough songs on it? Fear no more.

RIM has announced that it is partnering with 7digital<\/a> to bring a 13 million song catalog when the Playbook launches. (rumored<\/a> to be April 10<\/a>) The prices should be on par with what they currently charge at 7digital which is around the same as most online music stores.

This could really help the tablet fill a multimedia void that RIM needs to compete with the iPad. It already has some pretty sold specs. It’s packing a powerful Cortex-A9 dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM. Putting this with rumors that Playbook will be able to run Android app<\/a>s this could make it some pretty stiff competition in the tablet market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal of them partnering with 7digital is that unlike some of it’s peers–iTunes and the Zune Marketplace–7digital songs and albums are DRM-free, and are easily transferred from device to device, which is a big plus in my book. Also with a 13 million song selection from such record labels as EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner users should have no problem finding the songs they desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m really looking forward to this tablet, even though I’m breaking the rule about getting excited before second gen. I just think it has some solid specs and some pretty sweet offerings in a nice 7 inch form factor, and having 13 million songs at my fingertips helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
