    Forgive me if this has been posted already but I have been in meetings (with my PB) all morning. I just visited the cnn.com website during lunch and the Blackberry Playbook has taken over the site for advertisement! I was pleasantly surprised to see it. Just visit and you should get a whole screen ad (unless you have noscript turned on) and cnn goes all black.

    Finally starting to see the big ad push it seems.

    The ad only activates if you hover your cursor over it.

    Actually it just came up on its own for me. I'm sure it will behave differently in different browsers. But click and you get the idea

    If you expand the ad and go through it, one of the bullet is on Connectivity and says: "Connect anytime, anywhere with WiFi and 4G models"

    Maybe the non-WiFi models are coming sooner than expected...

    ads been popping up on hulu.com as well, which is ironic i think. Personally, I think RIM should pull those ads, since hulu is blocking the browser.

    probably just because most people already know foxnews is an oxymoron
