The Bluetooth keyboard for the PlayBook
by Next Success comes as a case with a built-in keyboard. The keyboard
is charged via Micro USB and pairs to the PlayBook like any other Bluetooth accessory would.

The case that surrounds the PlayBook also feels like it’s fairly good
quality and the stand that props the PlayBook upright is at a nice
angle.

Can the Bridge with a BB Phone and the keyboard work at the sametime? Asssuming both use bluetooth to connect?

I have this product. Bluetooth connectivity is VERY unstable. good for 2 minutes of typing at a time between disconnects. Don’t buy this product.

Oh my goodness. This looked amazing until you mentioned the part about the covering of the bezels. What a tremendous oversight. Epic fail in my opinion. Completely useless product, and clearly the engineers have never used the playbook before.

”
Some of the great things about the Next Success keyboard is that the keys are made from rubber so that when your PlayBook screen rubs against them, your screen won’t get scratched.”

Huh… did you expect any other material to actually scratch Gorilla Glass???

Hi @dindak and @Kyle,

Alex from RIM here. You both make a great point—the portability of the PlayBook is one of its key advantages. If you want the production of a laptop but in a more portable design, the BlackBerry PlayBook fits the bill. Add in the Bluetooth keyboard, and working from the road is even easier.

In fact, a colleague of mine took part in a challenge last summer where he left his laptop behind for months in favor of a BlackBerry smartphone and PlayBook. You can read about his experiences on our Inside BlackBerry Blog: http://bbry.lv/o3bkiD.

Cheers,
Alex, RIM Social Media Team

I find laptops still pretty bulky. I’m going to try it out at my next conference and see how it goes.

I don’t know if it’s less or more convenient. Never used a NetBook. It’s good if you’re connected over Bridge and want to send lots of emails.

… so, it turns the PlayBook into a less-convenient NetBook? It’d be better served as a docking station.

Kinda cool but to be honest, I doubt I would use it much. If I need to work, I use my laptop. Playbook is more for apps, surfing and reading (consuming content).

If you travel though, could be good if youy don’t want to carry a laptop.
