    In one of the latest Ing commercials, there is a guy sitting outside on a bench and as you look over his shoulder, you see he is working on a CF-28. When they switch to the front view, the outside of the LCD cover is diamond plate. I am thinking it is the vinyl stick on type.

    Cheap ad agencies...you'd think they'd pop for a CF-30 or a CF-52.

    There was a CF-52 in an episode of White Collar that was being used by a fed, though I forget which episode. It was shown for 30 seconds maybe.

    NCIS has had CF19s in several episodes and the movie The Babysitter has a CF19 in it as well. They are easy to spot sometimes

    Just saw a CF-18 mounted on the center dash of a Lincoln Navigator in the "Bourne Ultimatum". It was set up as a tablet.
