Staples Already Setting Up BlackBerry PlayBook Stands in Stores?

Staples BlackBerry PlayBook Stand

Staples seems to be stealing quite a bit of Best Buys glory with the BlackBerry PlayBook launch. RIM actually put out a press release about Best Buy accepting preorders as a “Preferred Retailer for the BlackBerry PlayBook” and then Staples went out and offered preorders sans press release. At first I heard it might be a mistake on Staples part but then…

I was just sent the above picture by a good friend. He took it at a NYC Staples location that is already setting up for the BlackBerry PlayBook launch. They have put up this booth and for what its worth one of the employees in the store said it was coming next week… Employees are notoriously clueless but why are they setting up booths over 3 weeks in advance? Ill let you speculate in the comments…
