    Now why can't PCW do a similar deal on the case and mini keyboard????
    Also price of PB 64GB dropped by �5.

    Thanks to this thread I managed to purchase two today... One for the office and one for home.

    Downloaded FlipClock Glow from AppWorld to create a great bedside clock! :-)

    Cheers!

    Quick question - Is it bad for your playbook battery if you leave it on the charger all the time! I just find it so cool on my desk standing there?

    I know from experience leaving my bb phone on the charger overnight ruins the battery :-(
    Just unplug mains from back of charging pod.

    I bought mine on Christmas Eve.. I was in there picking up a playbook with my father-in-law who was buying it for my mother-in-law for xmas

    so bad news... I now have the mother-in-law constantly available for video chat...

    good news... picked up a dirt cheap charging pod which is shared between me, my wife and our son!

    now if the in-laws are viewing this on their shiny new playbook..... I'm only kidding

    Hi, just picked one up, finally have a stand to put my Playbook on when travelling on long train journeys! Was going to buy a second one for my desk at the office but after reading that a few people missed out because their local PC World sold out of them I felt guilty about depriving someone else of a charging pod so just got one for home.

    For anyone in the South West London/Surrey area, I went to the New Malden store near Wimbledon/Kingston, and they had about 6 or 7 left (head to the tablet section and they're stacked up next to the Playbooks on display)

    I wouldn't feel guilty about buying an extra one for something you'll validly use - or even as a spare - I suspect there will be pockets of them in areas, and cleaned out in other areas. It's the people who clear the shelves and buy loads to sell on at a profit that irk me - it's not like it's some business model they're supporting, it's just opportuinism, when the same people are more than likely members of community forums like this.

    I bought one, and I probably wouldn't have bothered at normal or even half normal price, as I already have the travel rapid charger, and wasn't going to bother with the stand / desk one. I also bought one for my parents who also have a PlayBook. I don't feel guilty about that - the store I bought mine from had, at a guess around 5 still visible hanging on the shelf stand.

    No, because they are trickle chargers.

    I've called PCW and they can't see any in stock near me. (South East - UK)

    In case anyone's interested got dragged to Cribbs Causeway this afternoon (**** on earth!), but did pop into PC World there. The whole PB accessories section was stripped bare! Its the only place i've seen where the charger had a markup of �4.99, but all gone (no surprises there!). So that's 4 of 4 around Bristol which have been stripped!

    Worth checking again - my local PCW had stock today but none yesterday (my guess is that there will be plenty)

    Spoken with the store Manager today

    Sadly once they have sold out they will either not be re-stocked or will return to full price.

    Great that I helped so many get one! But sorry to all that missed out.

    He did say they are selling like crazy
