So if any of you know me...you'll know I'm crazy for #TeamBlackBerry.

I've always had a computer of onensort or another in the car. I recently removed the computer and installed a PlayBook in the double din space of the stock radio.

Pretty cool (and cheap)

$$$ Cheap is right, I was seriously considering picking one up when I seen a flyer with the latest prices, its almost to the point of why would I buy not buy one! Although not favored by everybody I like my BB Torch, so it would make sense to step over to the BB tablet.

Not to mention the install to your car is like 95 percent easier than installing a car-puter, with portability to boot.

Good job, Sir tu

Any chance of doing a writeup on the holster for the Playbook?

How would the ODB2 get to the playbook?
Bluetooth in?
