hey guys this is Sean with the verge and right now we're getting our first hands-on with the Nokia n1 tablet up until now it's been exclusive to China and you can see it actually looks a lot like an iPad Mini if you were to cover up the logo here in the back you could probably fool anybody that you showed this to but it's got some really cool unique features it's running a custom version of Android 5.0 so you can see the the launcher buttons down here are from lollipop but it's got what Nokia is calling the Z launcher which means that all these apps here are actually loaded in contextually by time so if you wake up in the morning and you check email or use maps to get to work those are gonna populate up near the front and at night if you use Chrome to browse the web or Netflix to watch movies it'll move those to the front tooth this kind of contextual a presentation is actually a trend we're seeing here at MWC the HTC m9 will load apps into widgets based on your location so if you get to work it's gonna load up your work apps home it's gonna load up your home apps whereas here it's being loaded in by time so maybe this is something we're gonna be seeing more of in the future so the rest of the apps you just swipe to the right you find them in the app tray here or you can actually use this kind of cool feature scribble to search so you just draw right here and F and it'll pull up Facebook it'll also pull up sort of the first letter and some other words too so if you were like looking for a fruit ninja you could type an end it'll bring that up as well this is also the first tablet with the new reversible USB cable so it means you could actually plug this in either way kind of like the lightning cable on Apple's devices but this has a hot catching heat name of a type C USB 3.1 so you're gonna see this a lot more on devices in the future but this is the first one to have it it's got an eight megapixel camera on the back five megapixel camera on the front if you're into using your tablet for photography but otherwise it's a pretty simple tablet it runs for 249 but like we said we it's all only available in China right now and Nokia says that they're looking to bring it other markets but it's going to depend on partnerships so if you like the look of this thing you're probably going to have to wait a little bit longer to get your hands on it
