I learn something new almost everyday about the playbook. Most of my findings come from with in this site but sometimes I find things on my own.

Today - I learned that there is a BlackBerry Skin for the PlayBook. I found this out by accident..... I won a bid on Ebay for what I thought was a New Shoft Shell case. Well when I got my $2.99 (w/shipping) purchase I did a double take. Through the package window it did not look like my current shoft shell case, I put my finger in the little touch hole and it felt rubber like and soft, more like the back of a naked playbook. Then I looked at the box and saw plain as day SKIN. Wow, did not know the thing existed.

Yesterday - I learned that in the native keyboard if you hold down on letters for a few moments it will display accent letters.

Hold down the ".com" key and other Internet domains will show up, if you did not know that.

I did not know about the mute by long pressing pause. That one sounds useful.

(Sorry for the preamble)


I learned something yesterday. While cleaning up some cabling behind my home theater. I unplugged the power cable from the back of my PB's charging dock, and set both the dock and playbook on a coffee table.

Less than 2 hours later, I was shocked to find the PB's battery went from 100% to 14%!!!

After charging it back up to 100%, I removed it from the charger, and just set the PB aside, as an experiment.

After 5 hours of standby with wifi on, it still said 100%. So my earlier issue was definitely the dock "discharging".

Long story short, an unplugged rapid charging dock seems to rapidly UNCHARGE the PB

And the VolUp/Down buttons can advance music tracks.

So true. Yesterday, I learned that 4 habaneros give me the chachas the following morning.
