Just when I thought PB could not get any better!!
- Ok I know this is not new to most of you, but today I got myself a micro to HDMI cord from staples, and WOOOOWWW! I am now watching movies on my big screen, can play all of my PlayBook games, BBM, internet browzer, FB app, look at my pictures, absolutly everything. And it just amazing. I especially love being able to play my games on the big screen. Playing NOVA2 HD just got a 100x better. Amazed with the game graphics actually. comparable to ps2. Anyways just wanted to say if u dont have your PlayBook hooked up to your bigscreen, go out now and buy the cord!!!! Cost me $20 at staples. Sure i could of found cheaper but i dont care, Now to get a mouse and keyboard for this thing
Anyone know of a good keyboard? I would prefer one that can be in a case with the keyboard. I seen one awhile back and have not seen it since. Its like a leather case and your playbook goes into it and its like having a laptop.Last edited by AsBloodRunsBlack; 01-09-12 at 04:31 PM. Reason: mistake

I don't think it is meant for gaming, but I haven't seen this new blackberry/PB keyboard config yet.01-09-12 04:38 PMLike 0

- Yep, The hdmi looks pretty awesome on the big screen. And, with the update, I'll be using my BB as a remote so I won't have to haul my lazy back side up out of my lazy boy. Thank you RIM. This was one of the things at the top of my list. I might even have to go ahead and buy that second PB just to keep hooked up to the TV.01-09-12 04:49 PMLike 0

I even watched DevCon on my 52" flatscreen. Silly me.Disparishun likes this.01-09-12 05:51 PMLike 1

Watch out for the Millennium Biltmore in downtown LA. The TV's had HDMI ports, but the TV was disabled so I couldn't change the Source setting. I might have to bring a Universal remote next time and see if I can get around it. Stupid LodgeNet baloney...01-09-12 06:07 PMLike 0 -
It is odd but maybe they needed to know that they would sell a certain amount and not have dead stock in another warehouse.BBplaybookJS likes this.01-09-12 06:17 PMLike 1 - Glad to hear everyone is enjoying the PlayBook to tv as much as I am. Is that keyboard for sure coming out in February? Because I would rather wait for the official BlackBerry keyboard. Would be cool.
And how will the phone work with the playbook on tv? Someone said it was gonna be used as a pointer??? Is that true? Like point your phone at the tv and be able to use it like a wii controller?? Maybe I misunderstood what he was talking about. Or is it just scrolling around with the trackpad?01-10-12 12:43 AMLike 0 - Ok I know this is not new to most of you, but today I got myself a micro to HDMI cord from staples, and WOOOOWWW!

Just scrolling around with the trackpad - maybe playbook can be used as a wii controller - it needs the accelerometers etc that are not in the phone.01-10-12 12:55 AMLike 0 -
