There is the option of purchasing the rapid mag charger, but for $40+ a charger that will only charge my playbook doesn't make sense unless it really is a lot faster. Anyone have one that can attest to how fast it charges?

Do you think using the 10W USB power supply that is available for the iPad would help? It noticeably improves the charging speed of our iPhones, and is the fastest way to charge an iPad, and it's just a brick with a USB out, so I assume it could provide more current to the Playbook charging circuitry as well. It would also be easy to find locally.
If you work downtown, you could borrow mine and test it out.
