Wake PlayBook Display with the Swipe of a Finger
You can wake your "sleeping" PlayBook at any time by depressing the device's power button, which is located on top of the tablet, next to the volume-up and volume-down keys. But the PlayBook's power key is a bit tiny, and it can be particularly hard to access if you're using a case or sleeve that covers the power and volume buttons--as is the case with many of RIM's own PlayBook protective products(Android Tablet, laptop battery life).
Thankfully, RIM built a gesture into the BlackBerry Tablet OS to allow you to wake your PlayBook's display without tapping the power button. Just slide a finger from the bottom gesture-area of your PlayBook's screen to the top, or vice versa, while it's sleeping to wake your display. (It would've been nice if RIM also included a similar gesture to power down the PlayBook's display, so swiping downward from the tablet's bezel would put the device to sleep, while swiping upward would light the display, for example. But perhaps a future software update will add a gesture to this effect.)
Capture and Save BlackBerry PlayBook Screen Shots
Unlike RIM's BlackBerry smartphone OS, the PlayBook's Tablet OS has a cool, built-in feature that lets you quickly capture screen shots of your PlayBook's display. And those screen captures are automatically saved to your PlayBook's pictures gallery.
To snap a PlayBook screen shot, simultaneously press and hold the device's volume-up and volume-down keys for a second until you hear what sounds like a camera's shutter--if you have your tablet's volume turned all the way down, you won't hear anything.
(Note: Corporate BlackBerry users or RIM smartphone users connected to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) won't be able to snap a PlayBook screen capture while linked to their smartphones via BlackBerry Bridge, due to a security feature. However, BES users can simply disconnect BlackBerry Bridge for a second if they need to take a screen shot.)
Managing BlackBerry Playbook Apps and Icons
Your PlayBook applications are all stored on home screen "panes" that can help make(RIM Tablet, hp laptop batteries) it easier to organize and quickly access specific apps when you need them. The main PlayBook home screen pane, the "All" pane, displays every application installed on your tablet. The "Favorites," "Media," "Games" and "BlackBerry Bridge" tabs house specific kinds of apps. But you can easily move and delete most apps from these panes to customize your PlayBook and place the apps you use frequently wherever you want them.
To move an app from your "All" pane to another pane, simply hold your finger on the app you wish to move until it starts "throbbing" slightly and/or a small trashcan appears beneath its icon. (Not all applications can be deleted, so some apps will not appear with a trashcan icon.)
To move an app from the "All" pane to your "Favorites"--or any other pane--simply drag the app-icon and drop it onto the word "Favorites" in your pane-navigation bar.
To delete an app from your tablet, where possible, navigate to the "All" pane, hold an app icon until it throbs and tap the trashcan icon beneath it. You can only delete apps from the "All" pane; if you try to delete an app from any of the other panes, it will be removed from that specific pane, but not the "All" pane.
Create PlayBook Home-Screen Shortcuts for Webpages
The BlackBerry PlayBook's Webkit browser lets you easily create home-screen shortcuts for frequently visited Web pages. Creating such shortcuts can save you time, since they eliminate the need to open your tablet(Dell latitude d830 battery, Toshiba pa3534u-1bas battery) browser and type in a specific Web address.
To create a PlayBook home-screen shortcut, launch your browser and navigate to the page for which you want to make a new shortcut. Next, tap the star icon with a plus sign in the top-right corner of the browser to bring up an on-screen menu--you may have to drag a finger down from the top of your browser to see the star icon, depending on your browser settings.
Finally, click the Add to Home Screen option from the menu, and the shortcut will be automatically added to your PlayBook's "All" pane.
Keep PlayBook Apps Active While You Multitask
One of the best things about RIM's PlayBook tablet is its ability to "multitask," or run multiple applications at the same time. So, for example, you can listen to music via the core music-player app while responding to e-mail using BlackBerry Bridge.
But the PlayBook ships with a default setting that "pauses" some applications when you navigate away from them, which can be both a good and bad thing.
It's good if you're playing a videogame, and you quickly hope over to Bridge to check a new e-mail or BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) message because your game pauses on its own. However, you may not always want apps to pause when you leave them.
