I saw this and quickly surfed my way to The Source, started the process of ordering, reached the part where I pay for it and.......Canada only! Booooooooo!!!!
nope, not the RIM one, this is a cheap bluetooth keyboard mounted in a dual sided case, the keyboard pops out in an identical fashion to the playbook mounting on cheap cases, via elasticated bands on each corner.
A RIM one would have the Keyboard as part of the case like the mount for putting the playbook in is a hardcase shell as part of the case just like their folio case. fully attached and unchangable.
However, this is probably worth getting (if you can) as you could probably get $99 worth of use out of it before RIM get around to actually releasing theirs.
Just pre-ordered, was debating on getting another Otterbox case for a extra PB.
,so I'll see how this works out.
Will just return if it doesn't meet my needs.
They do put a hold for the full amount on your CC.
Don't think they'll be much cheaper at the beginning.
The other sites for 88 bucks clip you you $10 handling fee plus $15 for shipping while TheSource is $4.99 for shipping or in store pickup for free.
Answer:
Yes. Rim will be launching the much anticipated BlackBerry Mini Keyboard with Convertible Case exclusively with The Source on March 23rd. This is the official keyboard with trackpad that playbook owners have been waiting for!

About time. I have been bugging them about this since last year. I will not be paying 99+tax for this though. Perhaps when it comes down a bit in price.
It always amazes me that when something new is announced that so many people jump in and say its not real,,can't be the one that we been expecting, won't work, can't be limited to just one store we don't know anything about.. etc etc
If I wasn't on the market for another PB case would of never have pre-ordered.
This way I get to check it out and if no like it goes back.
Only because it was a big box store I ordered from for their no hassle return policy.
Besides Otterbox cases and a HDMI cable for tv have bought nothing else them.
