Wifi for the playbook

I just bought my husband the playbook and we dont know how to get our phone to act as a wifi hotspot in order for us to use our phones for internet - we live in SA - help anyone??

1. You can use the Bridge function on your BlackBerry handheld device to send a signal to your PlayBook.
2. You can use the PlayBook > Options > Tether to your BlackBerry handheld device for a signal.
or
3. IF your handheld BlackBerry has the function of Mobile Hotspot, you can use that for the Playbook to connect via WiFi. I don't know what exact model of the Curve you have.
What is your exact model number of Curve?
And, What is your Operating System loaded to your device? Look at Options > Device > About, third line down beginning with a "v.7.0.x.xxx", What is yours?

how to I get my ipod connected to wifi for the first time..it's an ipod tougch 2010 version, refurbished

Hi,
To connect your iPod to wifi just:
     1. Open settings,
     2. Tap Wi-Fi,
     3. Make sure the Wi-Fi switch is on,
     4. Tap the network you would like to connect to,
     5. If the network has a password then type it in and press join.
For hidden networks(networks that don't broadcast their SSID(name))
     1. Follow 1-3 above,
     2. Tap other,
     3. Type in SSID(name) of the network,
     4. Select the security of the network,
     5. If there is a password type it in,
     6. Press Join.
Some public networks may now show a login screen where you may have to agree to terms and conditions, enter your email etc...

Here's a tease from a RIM PM on the status of BB10 for the PlayBook

This is a table scrap of positive news from a RIM Project Manager that something is in the pipes for the PlayBook for sure...when it will arrive is the unknown factor though. The question was: "So hows BB 10 for the PlayBook coming?" The reply says: "My lips are sealed! Good things to come. John" (If you right click on the image below and select view image it will enlarge in the same window in FireFox - most likely IE or Chrome too.)
I mean, we've heard nothing for quite some time officially that BB 10 was coming to the PlayBook. So, to me at least, this states that something is indeed coming to the PlayBook and reinforces that fact. It doesn't say anything else obviously. But reassurance is comforting.

RIM has stated all along that BB10 would be coming to the PlayBook sometime AFTER the launch of the BB10 for the smartphone devices. They've not been silent on that, and John's is just the latest in confirmations.
Thanks, can't wait to have it on the PB!

Can I use my Android tablet charger for the PlayBook?

Hello,
I got a PlayBook and it came with the wrong charger plug. It's for the US that I can't use here in Germany.
Can I use my Android tablet charger for the PlayBook instead?
The information on the chargers are similiar but for the output it's a bit different: (They both say 5V but than 1.8 instead of 1.5)
PlayBook charger output: 5V = 1.8A
Android tablet charger output: 5V = 1.5A
Thanks for any feedback.

It'll charge slightly slower, but yes.

WiFi for the 8330

Presently considering the Curve 8330. I can find no information on whether it can connect to a home wifi or any other wifi network. Guidance sought.

The OP is referring to WiFi, not the cellular network of your carrier. WiFi is your wireless internet connection in your house or at wifi hotspots at public places. The BlackBerry usually uses the cellular network for it's data connection, however, some models have hardware that allows them to use a wifi connection for faster (or cheaper) connections to the internet.

Suggestion for the PlayBook Team

There have been suggestions made and issues identified with the PlayBook on this and other forums. Many of these are understandable with the initial release of a totally new product, new OS, and very limited development time.
My issue is more fundamental: What is the PlayBook supposed to be?
   1) Business Tool?
   2) Entertainment Device?
   3) Smartphone Extension/Enhancement?
It appears that PlayBook is trying to be "all of the above, to all people, and master of none"
The PlayBook was to be my business tool. Unfortunately it currently fails to meet my minimum business requirements. The functionality for the two other uses seems to be limited as well.
It would be helpful if the PlayBook Team conveyed the primary purpose of the PlayBook; and, concentrated development in that direction. This would provide a realistic expectations as to the future use of my PlayBook.

What is wrong with all of the above?
What's the focus of the iPad, Xoom and Tab?
I do believe you'll see it fulfill all three as apps develop and time passes. Obviously right now it's not serving your needs.

*** on wifi for the eIOS what a mistake I made upgrading Cannot join any wifi network

any help out there, another apple screw up

I don't know why some are having this issue, my wifi works great...even faster than before. It seems like wifi connection issues might need to be addressed with this update though as it seems people are having a common problem. My only solution for you might be to reset your router, wipe your device clean and restore with previous 5.1.1. Try again in a week or so.

The IPad said backup necessary via wireless. If you don't have wifi for the backup any suggestions?

New IPad 2 locked the screen and stated" backup necessary via wireless". My friend has Verizon, but no wireless. I used my wireless, but did not backup. It now works. Any suggestions?

Take your IPAD to a "hot spot"...McDonalds, Panera Bread, etc... Most have free WiFi available.

WiFi for the G3 600

Hello,
I'm interested in buying a G3 but am wondering how I can connect it wirelessly to the internet. From my understanding it doesn't have WiFi. I do have a wireless router but I'm not sure if it is a "receiver." Basically I'm in an office building and want to connect to their internet wirelessly, what are my options?

Which one is the most effective?
They're all about the same. An USB component may require the installation of software.
By original (Airport card) do you mean the one that comes with the computer?
You wrote 'From my understanding it doesn't have WiFi.' above, which I interpreted as meaning it doesn't have an AirPort card. If it does, just use that.
