Thumbs up Holy trackpad!
That was one feature I was NOT expecting to see on the Playbook mini keyboard when eventually released. I'm floored after seeing the news update on the leaked ads! I hope it's true and the price is right... ah who am I kidding I'm gonna buy it regardless!

A photo or a link? Maybe a smoke signal or two?

This was supposed to be out last year in October I believe. If it was last year, I would have snatched one up. Waiting to see how we can use out handsets to control our PB first. Looks great for those that are looking for a product like that.

I wonder if the difference between Oct and Feb meant the touchpad? For a new Pb owner this is great news, hope original buyers with keyboards already aren't too upset, but like you mentioned the phone as a remote does make up for it a little! Gosh, which one to be excited over more? I can't choose

Wow, can't wait to see it. It's a good thing life intervened and I didn't get the Playbook last year as I originally intended.

Why does the 4th slide and the thumbnail slide show the PlayBook with a Windows 7 desktop?
Not only does it have the Windows 7 wallpaper but you can see the taskbar and the Start Menu has been opened.

It is probably showing off Citrix. It's much easier to control a remote Windows 7 desktop if you have a trackpad rather than relying solely on the touchscreen.

Maybe, but the other slides all have a default "regular" PlayBook desktop
