The Chesterfield Indiana police department along with the FBI Interstate Theft Task Force are currently investigating the recent theft of over 5,200 BlackBerry PlayBooks's. The PlayBook's valued at between $1.7 million and $5 million dollars, were hijacked from a semi truck that was parked outside a Pilot truck stop. The driver went inside to grab a bite to eat and when he came out his truck was gone.

Now I wonder if we are going to see a spike in PlayBook sales on eBay and Amazon just in time for the Holiday season. This is certainly one way to get some PlayBook's out to the public.

Many people have been wondering about the benefits of rooting/jailbreaking your PlayBook. The short answer to this is that rooting opens the door for creativity. Since the release of the DingleBerry jailbreak we have seen just how creative people can be, now we can do things like installing the full android market. Thanks to the creative minds of developers other things like being able to access Hulu are becoming more attainable as well.

Now thanks to Guillem Mateos over at the elTecnoBlog we will soon be able to access USB devices from our PlayBook's. This will be a great feature, hopefully soon we will be able to save files directly to a USB drive, eliminating the need to use a PC for some quick files transfers. What do you think about USB support on the PlayBook?
