Not sure if this is new or not, but I just saw this on the Staples website.
Nice to have pricing on some of the OEM accessories. Also a new detail: seems like the PlayBook will have a built in magnet like the BlackBerry handhelds that will put it to sleep when used with a case.
Power Saving Case technology puts helps conserve battery life when the PlayBook is in the case
That's pretty nice... now if only it were the 19th!
