What is this gadget?
10 seconds into this ad for United Airlines wifi, there's a guy holding some sort of gadget in landscape mode. I can't make out what's on the screen.

Anyone got any idea what it is?

What it is? Some 7'' tablet, my guess would be the BlackBerry PlayBook or the Nexus 7...

It looks too thick to be a Nexus 7. Maybe the BB Playbook or some no name tablet.

Tks both, definitely too thick for a Nexus 7, but could well be the BB, not a product I'm familiar with over here.

The thickness and rounded corners match the playbook. I can't see the front facing camera to be sure.

Its a playbook. they use it as a prop because there's no chance it will be stolen.
