Re: Leather Cover

Try a search on Targus Playbook Truss

Thank you...I did figure that out and you're right, using it as an external HD is much easier than using the BB Desktop.

Can save user IDs and passwords within the PB Browser?

I keep an overall PW on the PB, and would like to "save" my IDs/PWs without having to reenter them all the time.
