I got a beanbag chair I got a Galaxy Tab I think we're in business what's up everybody I'm Noah from TechnoBuffalo comm and I'm at Google i/o 2011 all right so if you follow such things you've probably heard the news by now Google i/o 2011 the keynote was this morning and as they like to do with these things last year they gave everybody in attendance HTC EVO 4G on Sprint this year a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 one it is not a locked edition it's the limited edition from the Google i/o Developers Conference but then you're also getting or everybody here is getting you're not I guess but we are a Verizon a hotspot tomorrow but they give these things out to encourage you know keep the developers happy because the Developers Conference not really a consumer or press thing although press are here obviously and to encourage development on the platform that kind of thing they announced a bunch of stuff this morning Ice Cream Sandwich probably Android 4 they're gonna call it it's coming in quarter four of this year it's going to unify the experience across tablets and phones and Google TV and then honeycomb 3.1 know we're sealed up here kind of unseal it and then honeycomb 3.1 available today to Motorola Xoom owners so I guess that means that the tab does not have three that one should be kind of weird by giving out the dev conference without the latest software on it but anyway announcing also Google music beta all kinds of stuff full coverage over on TechnoBuffalo comm so you can check all that out and to those of you who suffered through my live tweeting rhyme style of the keynote you know either thanks for playing along or I apologize anyway here's the tab though it won't be on the market for another month they said it was announced back at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona but giving them out today to all the devs will look at the back here for the specs 32 gigs in internal storage it's a dual-core 1 gigahertz dual core processor same kind of the same basic specs as the zoom 10.1 inch display 1280 by 800 HD full 1080p HD playback it's got bluetooth it's got Wi-Fi b/g/n the whole thing but it is a little bit thinner and lighter than the then the zoom for sure so I don't know if we're juiced up with a battery power here we'll see you may not be able to actually know it's starting up doing a little on the scene unboxing for you from the Moscone West Center there were they said over 5,000 developers or 5,000 people I should say including press and others in the room for the keynote this morning and it was good it was probably the best Google presentation I've ever seen a little more a little more style to it substance wise I don't know it's arguable I think Android fans Android developers will be happy but as in terms of announcements you know sort of for the general market a lot of stuff they talked about isn't available yet and then you know Google music beta kind of lags behind the the Android movie rental service I think lags behind some of the other offerings already in the marketplace from you know Netflix certainly with the movies and Hulu and everybody else and then you know a lot of the online streaming music services but that being said there's a huge Android community to take advantage of this stuff so it'd be very interesting to see anyway so here's the device the Galaxy Tab 10 one the lighting is not optimal in here for an unboxing so we'll keep it short and play around with this later in better conditions let's see what else is in the box a health and safety information warranty guide all your manuals USB cable I know it looks like it's a proprietary so there's a provider USB to proprietary yeah proprietary is sort of almost Apple style connector on the bottom there and then an AC adapter can a modular AC adapters you can snap different adapters in there I would assume for international global travel so there you go I don't think that anything underneath check just to be sure and then tomorrow we'll come back and we'll get the where is it the Verizon mobile hotspot and SIM card with three months of service so a quick unboxing quick look at the Galaxy Tab 10.1 it it feels nice it's really lightweight this feels like it's probably more suited to one-handed use than some of the other larger tablets out there and I like the widescreen form factor checked it out other devices and me personally I you know it's optimized for HD viewing this way but then you turn it into portrait mode and easier for to thumb typing I think so we'll get this set up and we'll check it out and I've got the limited edition and birds all over the back very cool live from Google i/o 2011 I'll shoot some videos just walking around some of the crazy stuff going on here they'll just give you kind of an overview I'm on the second floor there are three floors and there's a giant cloud I'm knowing from TechnoBuffalo comm much much more on TechnoBuffalo on our Twitter feed on our Facebook page all those places you know where to go in order to look all week Google IO
