REstarting d PB...
- button, + button, den power button?

Any other way of doing it?

Pressing that 3 button together is like "soft reset". Normally do it after major OS upgrade.
For normal time, just press the power button/battery icon and choose "restart"

I agree, Indo market is very big... But so is Malaysian market!
We also have a very big BB following..
Jus go out 2 d amamaks & stuff..
You will see that 4 every iPhone user, there is an equivalent amount of BB users as well
*
I would said the potential for Indonesia market is much more than Malaysia.

Indonesia population (237 Mil) vs Malaysia (27.5 Mil) almost 9X different. If I am RIM, I will concentrate on Indonesia first.

I am freq traveller to Indonesia. I hardly see any other phone beside BB. Iphone is damn expensive there but BB have very wide variety and various pricing from low to high price which suite general public.

I find myself using my PlayBook more than my iPad2.

Simply because it has the ability to bridge with my Torch 9800.

Awesome combination indeed!
*
Yes. I agree RIM created bridge solution to existing BB phone is very good idea.

Can just use my PB and leave my BB on desk. Notification is non-intrusive. Wont obstruct what I doing on the PB. Also cut the need to manage/maintain 2 sets of PIM data.

How to load country restricted apps into your Playbook for example Blackberry News for Playbook

1) Follow below link to setup your wifi using http proxy
http://aussecurity.wordpress.com/2011/05/1...playbook-proxy/

2) I use proxy 173.203.109.204 port 80
and no password or username. It is a bit slow but better than nothing right?

3) Now U can see the Blackberry News for Playbook when U search "news"

4) Install and walla.. It is in my playbook now. smile.gif
