Grid 4, Grid 10 and Grid OS Overview

2011-08-15
hey guys so today here's the video on the brand new grid 4 and grid 10 in the past few months there's been a lot of viral marketing about a company called tat Co but you know wouldn't really know who it was however this morning they went ahead and fully announced what their products were and turns out this fusion garage and you guys may not recognize the name but they were the ones who came up with the juju tablet which I did less than spectacularly a few years ago so let's go ahead and take a look at what their new products have to offer to start with let's talk about the grid for now as the name implies this is going to be a four inch smartphone running the grid OS now the grid OS is running on both the phone as well as the tablet and it for all intents and purposes is a reskin version of Android now they are calling it a fully separate operating system however it not only does it is it based on the Android kernel but also runs Android apps so it's probably going to be a pretty customized experience but it's not going to be all new the specs on the grid 4 include a 4-inch 480 by 800 resolution display a 1 gigahertz single core Snapdragon processor a 5 megapixel rear facing camera with 720p video support as well as 16 gigabytes of internal storage now this phone should be launched in the coming months and it will be available for $399 off contract which is actually not a bad price whatsoever for a phone like this on top of that we'll be announcing carrier partner so for example AT&T t-mobile etc etc whoever decides to pick up the phone they will be announcing that at a later date moving on to the grid 10 we are going to have a full 10.1 inch tablet although with a very high resolution of 1366 by 768 it has a dual core NVIDIA Tegra 2 chip like I said very very similar to what you will find on pretty much any Android tablet that you purchased today but on top of that it of course does run the grid OS blown up for the large display now it's a little bit hard to tell what version of Android this is based on just based on the screenshots and the video that we've seen it doesn't look like it's actually going to be honeycomb however it does have a lot of really interesting and really nice-looking effects transitions at etc etc now moving on a little bit more about the tablet it's actually has a fairly sleek and thin design it only is 0.37 inches thick which is not half bad at all considerably thinner than a lot of the other tablets that are available on the market and on top of that it will be available a little bit later on this year for 499 with a Wi-Fi model in $599 for the 3G model I'm a little bit split on this on the one hand I'm always really looking forward to when new people come into the space new ideas new products really kind of shake everything up now on the other hand the choo-choo was a complete flop absolutely just abysmal flop and these two both they look kind of decent but nothing really spectacular I mean particularly the OS well it definitely does have some nice things I definitely can see some Windows Phone 7 in there it's a little bit chaotic it's just really not a very slick interface that I would definitely like so this one comes over to you guys what do you think and of course both of these are going to be fairly unique products and like I said we should be seeing them in the next coming months so what do you guys think are you interested does this look like something you would be interested in buying something that you would never touch in a million years definitely be sure to leave your thoughts in the comment section below
