Hopes and Dreams

Been having a little trouble with my BlackBerry Playbook rapid charger. A couple of times, I have attached the connecter to the PlayBook and seen the charging symbol displayed. I then come back an hour later and it had not charged. In fact, the amount charged went down. I hope this rapid charger is not defective. Not sure what is happening, maybe that is why I got is for $15.

Some Shopping

USPS delivered my Kingston Wi-Drive 32GB from Amazon today. Not bad, as I ordered it 8-29-12, a Wednesday. Arrive 9-04-12, a Tuesday. Free delivery. And a holiday on Monday, Labor Day. My expected arrival was 9-11-12 to 9-17-12. Must admit Amazon does a great job at shipping, faster then most anyone else. But I believe they are the more evil then WalMart.

Also got a travel rapid charger for the PlayBook today. Was at the mall and went to Radioshack and they had one left. It was a clearence, $14.97 + tax. The seal had been broken, but everything was intact. The rapid charger uses 3 magnetic pins to charge the PlayBook. And it supposed to charge faster. What most people who have bought it like is that it doesn't use the mini USB port. The mini USB port can become damaged, so less wear and tear.

In the picture, you can see the rapid charger connected to the PlayBook. Next to it is the mini USB port and next to that is the mini HDMI.
