Was I the only one unaware of this? Love my Playbook and all it's goodies!

Yep it's a lovely feature. Believe me there is still alot of peepz out there that doesn't know about this.

[zavar]

Well, that's a new one to me too. Thanks! Now I'm going to have to try pressing on everything to see what else I've been missing!

[bounce007]

Lol... this is funny. But glad you guys figured it out lol

[mjlott]

Pretty cool. Thanks!

Mine also has an alarm listed at the bottom.

I'll say it as many times as necessary. RIM has some pretty good ideas about user interface for the PlayBook.
No one has done multitasking as easy as them.
No one has done the slide-to-wake-up.
No one has allowed for easy configuration in as few steps as the PlayBook.

Hang in there Canadian phone maker, you can do it!

Agreed the whole the whole top corner toggle down bar is so handy and accessible from any app, just smart.

Definitely,

It's one of the reasons why I actually prefer the QNX based OS on the PlayBook as compared with other mobile operating systems, and as a reviewer I've experimented with many.

I had known about the clock and calendar, and was just trying to find it in the User Guide... NOT there! Then I kept scrolling down and did find this that wasn't in there before........ see page 58..

cool. There needs to be some kind of consistent hint for these hidden features -- otherwise people will not get them. These are not supposed to be Easter Eggs.

[jafobabe]

Crimminnie! Now I know were those Easter Eggs went!

[SnoozerBold]

Ha! I had no clue that was there either.

[Krack-Berri]

Just found this out now too :P

thanks

This actually has been there since 1.0. Unfortunately it doesnt link to your calendar application itself, and if you click again it takes you to the date/time settings. They need to eliminate the calendar icon and integrate it into this.

[wuulfy]

sooo didnt know...and i am usually one of those who smile smuglly when people ask about how to move icons around the screen and other such things on forums

[splyle]

I can't seem to get mine to bring up the calendar

[Sith_Apprentice]

Press on the time/date one time and it will pop up to show a month view. It wont launch your actual calendar app.

Have tried that and tried just pressing and holding it down. Not a big deal, just odd that it doesn't work

[byul]

Try to reboot your PlayBook and try it again. Dunno if that works though.

Actually, I believe webOS predates Playbook OS on ease-of-use for multitasking, i.e. the "card" metaphor - apps are cards, viewable side-by-side when shrunken, and flick'ed up to kill.

I was very glad when I saw RIM had adopted the same gestures.

[walcolm]

this has always been a PB feature from OS1 days

[Canuck671]

When i press my calendar button, a cup of coffee appears.

God i love these hidden features.

[adrenaline_x]

nope.. no clue

Same here. Have all 3 OS's at home. I love my android htc sense ui for phone but heavily prefer the Playbook over my htc jetstream tablet. Its a shame the lack of apps really puts the pb at a disadvantage. Hopefully by bb10 release that will change.
