Crap that it doesnt work with any of the cases. I hate taking it out (and ruining my convertible case).

Where is the travel charger? baby

Haven't tried it, but the touchpad charger is rated at 2 Amps and the playbook charger at 1.7 Amps. Should work, but touchpad will charge a little more slowly than with its own charger. The "tech" here is the battery (and circuit) ability to draw more current to charge more quickly. HTH

Meh, I am letting this one go, no use for a dock (when I use a case and specifically bought the keyboard case)

Thanks. The tech i was refering to was the inductive charging, but i know nothing about it. The hp dock seems impossible to find at decent prices, so this might do it. Searched a bit, and seems like touchpad won't recognize third party chargers.. meh will return if doesn't work.

Just add a $40 filler item (printer ink, etc) to get free shipping and then return that item to your local Staples on your next trip.

$9 at Staples for the Travel adapter not good enough?

This is not inductive. It has a little port on the bottom that makes contact with a special rapid charging port on the PB.

I reserved one and i do not even have a Playpoop. I am waiting for them to liquidate the LTE models. I could not take the lag of the first gen PB.
