    Hi friends, i was just surfing the net and found this interesting video BlackBerry PlayBook commercial - I could not get the video to play on my PlayBook. But i've managed to click a screen shot check it out.

    Is this Playbook 2?

    What makes you think this is a different PlayBook than the one you have? If it's the shape/size of the device, that just looks like a distorted picture to me. Am I missing something?

    As is being pointed out over and over again, the shape is "definitely different" because the image is distorted. Nothing more.

    Have you guys actually watched the video mentioned? Forget the image, watch the video.

    Nothing distorted there. Could be a hoax though.

    Great commercial, but a mystery to the design for sure. But I also subscribe to the possibility of this being a hoax, unless someone has a hi-res version of it to prove otherwise. But remember, such a commercial won't leak like this if such a model, that is of yet unanounced is really to appear soon.

    those Chinese characters don't give me any trust at all. Could even be a pirate playbook, being square just to say it's not violating any copyrights... that if those hands are natural

    I've seen that commercial before. The image is shrunk vertically. More than likely, they used a 16:9 video and fit it into a 4:3 window without cropping.

    On a side note, my anti-malware program blocked something from that website. Could be a false reading, but heads up to people running unprotected.

    Which anti malware program are you using? I'm worried mine didn't catch it...

    oops! new workstation - no anti malware...installing ad aware unless I get a better recommendation.

    It was Malwarebytes Pro (Pro runs actively, free runs manual scans)

    I use it in combo with Avast free.

    Yes malwarebytes is real good, I only use the free version and scan at intervals, superantispyware free version is good also for manual scans finds things malwarebytes doesn't and visa versa. I also run microsoft security essentials for real time. Also spywareblaster is a good host file blocker but manual also for free.
