Anyone notice this? I went to the verizon homepage on my berry and noticed a new app called SIDEBAR. Apparently it installs on your device and randomly displays ads. Whose going to do that???

There is a current thread in the Verizon wireless section....

I could see this being the exact same thing they did with TROOPER TYPING. Verizon will load this on all of our BBs with stupid ads... anyone else see this coming? haha

Oh man I'm glad I'm on AT&T. At least we get
our annoyances upfront and can just hide them.

What if it saved you 10% per month to have this installed and running?

May be a noob question but where exactly is this "white space" where the ads will be?
