It's not that they would get sued for not giving equal screen time to both products, it's that they just don't want to give away free advertising. If you show all of your characters using macbooks, then apple is getting free advertising. So you give them some sort of Frankenbook, and that way they leave the door open for a deal with any manufacturer. Seinfeld was a major exception. I believe they did all of their product placement for free, because they thought that using real products would be more realistic / funnier.

woot

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
