You thought I was joking, right. No, it’s true. The most backward tablet in the world just got worse. The only thing they forgot was a stylus — maybe they can get some from Samsung.
What the hell are these guys thinking?
PlayBook gets a keyboard and trackpad
Can’t compete with Apple in tablets, so they’re gonna compete with Dell in laptops.
“Get the keyboard that is designed by the makers of PlayBook. Unleash the power of the world’s first professional grade tablet!!”
I think I’ll pass, thanks

1. It isn’t made by Apple. It’s an accessory from a 3rd party.
2. It doesn’t have a trackpad…
I wonder when they’ll have the fire sale on these odd accessories.
At least they got the keys in the right place. If I’m not mistaken, the keys on that Playbook keyboard look like they were stolen from the Commodore PET! The keys are all in line going up — like the way child might draw a keyboard!
“Improved Data Entry- The touchpad enables greater precision and improved navigation”
Who said BlackBerry didn’t have any more good ideas?
Why the f- is the keyboard held in place with elastic bands?
It’s pretty silly. But it should be said that there are a lot of people buying similar addons for the iPad, even if Apple doesn’t make them.
“What the hell are these guys thinking?”
Quite an over-reaction. What’s the big deal?
If RIM held some giant press conference and this is what they announced, I could understand the scorn.
Selling a keyboard / trackpad add-on for a tablet doesn’t seem crazy.
Where’s the floppy drive?
As an added bonus, it costs more than 1/2 of what you’ll pay for a 16GB PlayBook. Sigh @ RIM.
“What the hell are these guys thinking?”
To answer your question, they weren’t.
Like Chris Johnson said, plenty of iPad users are buying similar products. So because it’s not made by Zagg, that should matter? lol.
That keyboard’s layout is as rigorous as RIM isn’t.
I love the double “!!” at the beginning and end. It’s like a bad eBay listing.
That’s a whole lot of black versus screen … **facepalm**
Wow people. Its just a keyboard accessory. I mean your reactions are a little… Just wow…
