2011-02-08
on the top like you would a normal smartphone it actually change the orientation to so it's tilted you notice it works in both both the viewing area Styles both portrait and landscape one of the things I'll actually show you is how an everyday allocation productivity applications like email actually works on this device so what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to go into the email client simply engine and will notice it's just like a normal email client that you'll see on an ant or Android phone but what's unique about this fight was to select an email like this one from Stuart you'll notice that it has a preview pane that shows up on the right hand side and it has the inbox still on the left hand side so I can actually manipulate things on the left hand side I can switch between different emails in the inbox I can actually view them here look at attachments if I'm the great thing about this is that this is very similar to the way we view things on our desktops with Microsoft Outlook you get a preview pane and then you get the inbox the other great thing is if I change the orientation again I can also do this in both landscape and portrait even if you're really stealing from the pc industry in terms of that look and feel this bill screen yeah I mean how many of you or you all work in reporting industry i'm sure a lot of your editors a lot of the people in your offices have two screens to sit side by side and they're they're doing multiple different things whether it's somebody's doing photoshop somebody's surfing the web you can do those both you side by side the other thing I'll point out is one thing you'll notice is that this is a very thin bezel between the two devices if you notice that that was one of the other Aaron feats we had to really overcome there's been other types of dual touch screen technology that develop but the big problem has been creating a scene that actually visibly it doesn't take away from the profile in the product and what you'll notice here is that this is a very thin scene that's only able to be visible when you really look really close up to it you're I actually gets very used to this the more did he use it so one of the next things I'm going to do is I'm actually going to show you a couple more demos so that was one mode we saw tablet mode we saw some optimization for the application you just saw let me just go into the picture gallery and show you how this looks on the echo videos gotta be fantastic yeah one of the things david is like you can actually look at video you can look at pictures here are some pictures what you can do is you can actually select them sort pictures here at the bottom as you notice it's actually displaying them at the very top as I change them I can actually scroll through the top as well and gets you the same thing that's really an optimized use of that girl scream yeah so up here you mentioned video let me show you a video here's a actual video that will play a top and as that video is playing I can do the same thing again I can actually scroll through my pictures this early becomes great and say right the Super Bowl and you took 80 different pictures and you want to scroll through them and kind of manage them this becomes a very practical application where I want you and as you notice when how you do that this video is actually pictured I've seen scenes reset this pleasure he says we're turning it around you'll see it's actually playing simultaneously as I change pictures he on pull up to it matt cassel yeah so one of the great things that a lot of people like to do is I like to send these pictures off so what I things I can do there yes we kinda scroll through your library and uploaded facebook yeah I want me to show you that so I'm going to go to share I'm going to go to Facebook and as you see it just now uploaded it and one of the things you'll notice is this huge keyboard just popped up below this is one of the largest keyboards that year we're going to use on a device it's actually bigger than a physical keyboard you can see in a slider type product if you'll notice now I can actually type on this thing upload the picture there it goes so yeah that's it so you're really getting this bold 3.5 inch screen for that keyboard that's bigger than the physical screens that using today because you have a keyboard you see to that yeah absolutely let's see view cube to talk a little bit about obviously this is a great device versus before YouTube what can you do you need there yeah so one of the applications that was developed by kyocera is this YouTube product Wonderland allows you to do is you can watch a YouTube video in top very similar to what we just saw from the gallery and while you're playing that video you can actually drag other videos and have them queue up now below in this menu system you can see as I'm dragging these across you'll actually start the bumper while I'm using this product while I'm using this application and so when i'm done with this application i can automatically move into the next one and have it start playing also i can actually move them as well by just selecting the app hitting delete I understand you could I can queue up to 4 and then delete them if I need to that's right absolution test it ok you talk a little sis I'm captain can you explain simulcasting because would you show so far seems like you're optimizing in the tablet mode yeah so let me show you an example simulcasting tasking we're probably excitement asking red string let's see I'm going to go in and I'm going to actually launch email and one of the things that you can do is there's a special gesture that's been created for this product so what you do is you put a finger on the top and the bottom screen and what happens is to get a task manager that allows you to actually manipulate what's on the top screen and ones on the bottom screen so you see her I have a browser at my address book email a gallery messaging phone and a new tube these are actually what ninety percent of people do with phones is within these categories of applications and its really where you get the most benefit from doing a simulcast in type out so for example let's say I wanted to dedicate the bottom to text messaging and my top I maintain his email so you notice the screen is actually at the top it's got my email I can actually go back to my inbox ton of great things about text messaging is really kind of intermittent communication so what you do is you send out a text message and then usually wait for someone to reply so for example let's say I just sent a text message my friend here ask me where we whenever we meet for the game so go in hit son there it goes and then what i can do is i can actually go back to my email while i'm waiting for that response and i can actually answer an email on doing that the same thing i can go in hit reply and you'll notice how responsive this is so being powered by a 1 gigahertz Snapdragon processor and see I can actually move back and forth and you know one of the other things that you can do up to is you can actually pinch if you hit this middle button what it does it reverses the order the screens so you can actually put your text messaging at the top and your email right at the bottom thank you can rotate yeah and you can also get you can change orientation again for both of these and the same same thing happens now I notice of you ought to have a project yes old yeah let me actually show you that because this is actually one of my favorite features so a lot of us are actually probably in the crowd doing Twitter probably also facebooking at the same time now typically unless you've got two phones or you got your laptop in front of you it's very hard to accomplish what I'm about to show you so one of the things you can actually do is you can actually bring up a web browser and the web browser that can actually live in both screens as one large web browser so i can actually large it so here's mine here's my facebook ha but the other thing i can do is i can actually click on this button in the very corner what it does is it actually brings up a second while browsing so i can actually pendant lee 12 web browsers of the exact same time so what are you going to use that for right well let's say i wanted to bring up twitter down below and i can actually tweet what i'm doing down here and i canna facebook at the top all of the same exact time I mean this is a social networking multitaskers dream come true that's not David Blaine but that's not back so you can also swap these you can go to any other website you'd like you can actually go up and put in any other URL while you're doing this there you go again you'll see the speed at how fast this thing really moves tell me hmm ok so we've shown him email we've shown you multitasking between different types of communication we've shown you video one of the things I really want to show you is is what we do with game yeah so first so there's a game on here its Sims but it takes a few minutes to load because it is a very big game so what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to start with the game loaded so this this is sentence it's a game many people know it's something that actually takes full advantage of the stool touchscreen so for example this is where you go into the game you actually create your character take a dance and if you notice i can actually manipulate the screen and the character from here at the bottom then i can also touch here at top i can change orientation you know this is actually a hairstyle i don't know what kind of person I'm making their stuff on yeah if I was going to say you might want to move off of it yeah so let's let's go ahead and go back to the game let me show you actually in game mode with a slip slide so once you've created your character it loads and while it's loading actually want to tell you about what we're doing we're actually going to be releasing these api's and a software development kit to our developers in our developer program with kyocera so that we can actually have people actually create games and take advantage of a full do a touchscreen environment so you notice this is a it's night time here at the same house and I can actually zoom in zoom out i canna as a new furniture i'm probably play this for wall so i actually put on and i'm gonna quit like i said but i think that you get the point this is really a power of what you get with google so think beyond even games other applications within their social networking whether the productivity tools once you have both screens you really have a whole new avenue how you can create products that are very innovative and so we think the developer community is going to think of all kinds of ways to take advantage of this so pre talk a little bit about better yeah so one of the things that we noticed is that there's not a lot of innovation that's taking place in the last you know probably 50 60 years in battery life and so one of the things we really wanted to make sure that we did on this product is said you know people are going to use this and makes different types of forms whether it's single mode dual touch mode bolt simultaneous evaluated so what we decided is that because we didn't want to hold up innovation and releasing this product it has a very good battery life and mixed usage mode meaning whether you use data and text messaging the phone but we realize that some people are going to be heavier of the use on the usage when they're in castleton moans so one of the things that we're doing is we're actually including this charger with an extra battery with every device so what this allows you to do is this is a special charger it actually allows you to charge the phone battery as well as the battery in the device simultaneously pretty much way the same way the device works also you can leave the battery and while it's connected to the device you can actually plug in the other battery doesn't lose your connectivity and then third thing is you can actually use this almost like a power boost its they can carry this with you and you can charge the battery and the device on the fly from the battery discharge in the product all that you know is included in the box with the product you don't have to buy additional accessories to do that that's fantastic that's probably a 50-dollar value just and so so it's to screen to screen and true batteries really two experiences and so at the end of the day for you whether two or three things you want people to take away from because there that goes how it's different in the marketplace yeah well I think the most important thing is that you know this is an innovative product I think it's something that's in a long line of history products that Dan and highlight that sprint has been a leader in and what we really want to do is we want to bring something to the market that was pocketable affordable so that you could carry it with you but also gave you the real estate to operate an adult touch screen mode and very effectively we want to make sure it was durable we also want to make sure that we enhance some of the simulcast a nap locations so that you could go out and be productive right away and the way to utilize these things actually I probably say most people with SCI will test are probably a little bit hyper so we actually also refer this as hyper tasking penny night so that's really what we want you to take away from this today we really want to thank you guys for coming we're going to show you a short video yet that's going to give you silence on the highlights of the product and then we want you to you know play with this device for yourself so there is a vent staff all the way upstairs but if you go up there you can actually play with the device
