After I picked up the J-M1 dual battery charger yesterday I was looking for a second charger for my PlayBook for the office. Turns out those accessories have also dropped in price with the original folding blade travel charger that ships with the PlayBook selling for about $16 shipped on Amazon. For those of you who need the absolute fastest charge they have also dropped the price of the rapid travel charger from the retail $69.99 to only $36. For another $27 you can also marry that to a rapid charging stand for your desk. I also picked up an OEM leather sleeve for my PlayBook for another $13.
Let me know if you spot any other solid deals or price drops on BlackBerry accessories!

Cool! Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered mine. Wonder if the Rapid charger will work on my phone too??

Yes as far as everything written the Rapid Charger will work on BB phones too. Looking at the pics be sure it is a male end as one of the pics looks like a female end.

Good to know that the prices of BB Playbook Travel and Rapid charger have come down. I needed to replace the old one and now I can do it easily.
