Product Sneak Peek

[hnnnggh]

hey wow. 3d boxes. never seen those before.

[echo2video]

I wonder if the people who made this video realize the music that is supposed to make their product sound cool actually makes it sound like an evil computer from a low-budget b-movie

[menso1983]

JooJoo 2

[ZeemTaylor]

kinda looks like the tablet version of ELSE mobile by EMBLAZE

[reddexdesign]

The iPad 2 is MUCH better than this rubbish!

[callandor87]

Wouldn't it be funny if the whole thing turned out to be orchestrated by Apple and on the launch day they go, "AHA! GOTCHA! Here's the iPad 3!"

[suspencer03]

I believe its gonna be a great tablet. ;)

[Miadification]

Can everyone just STOP hating? Hate on it after it comes out

You can see they have a pretty big budget, lets hope for the best.

[hdprice]

Would be so funny if this was Apple taking a different marketing approach for the iPad 3... :)

[cragosm]

Will it have a Segway dock?

[hellspawn22]

i don't think they'd go through all this advertisment if it weren't good :) we'll know in 3 more days

[Scriptofmagic]

Joojoo Fusion Garage 2.

[socceroos123]

Add me to the line of people wishing it was a Meego tablet (even if that is a short line).

[DJTripleRRR]

Putting my bet out now. Tabco = Nokia (Same type of advertising) and Tab = Meego!!! It'd be awesome if it was meego, means maybe people would actually start programming for it, which means the N9 would garner some sort of support.

[Geshpenst]

If this runs Android, I'm going to laugh.

If this runs Windows 7, I'm going to cry.

[RadarTheKat]

Ha, now I realize why the name TabCo sounds so familiar. Back in 1999 a little company called Tibco was going to take over the world. The CEO even wrote a book (The Power Of Now) and claimed Tibco would be the fastest growing company in history. Then the DotCom bubble burst and Tibco sunk. Today it's just a "tech company" and nobody remembers that it was going to take over the world. Let's see how TabCo (or the division of Microsoft or Amazon it represents) is doing in a few years.

[RadarTheKat]

Let's say Tabco, or more likely, the company behind this stupid moniker, were to employ every bit of innovation available in the technology industry today to build the most fantastic tablet imaginable. What you'd then have is a tablet that infringes a long list of Apple patents. :-)

[socceroos123]

@RadarTheKat

Given the generic nature of the patents you're talking about, it's only proper to point out that it is a bad reflection on the company for them to be cornering and raping innovation. I hate companies who do that - all of them. No exceptions.

[mrcondog69]

if you are smart, send me a message telling me who you think is making this tablet. ex. verizon, nokia, etc.

[pardvm]

@mrcondog69 I really don't know who they are. However, their postal address is the address of "Three Marketeers Advertising Inc" which probably is the agency they contracted for all this hoopla around the 8.15 event

[LinkyPallent]

i think MeeGo from nokia.. .or windows tablet os from Ms

[ShOdMan1]

Suspension better than the advertisement.. THE EFF waste of my time.. would have rather picked my nose

TF is this crap?

[BeachJetfighter360]

i am also going to laugh when the viral marketing will fail and billions spent, better be f*cking revolutionary or its garbage

[dasmegabyte]

ZOMG so many cubes! REVOLUTION

[averagejoeFTW]

Did I see a PowerPoint logo?

[sutchsteve]

@averagejoeFTW you know what, this is just the sort of dumb shit that microsoft might do

[LinkyPallent]

@averagejoeFTW minuit and second ?

[averagejoeFTW]

@LinkyPallent 0:16 on the top bar of the notification screen

[LinkyPallent]

@averagejoeFTW okay :D could bd right.?! :D hope on MS

[MuleXC09]

my prediction: elaborate troll to make fun of NoteSlate... on 8.15.11 we'll see a handwritten message saying "stay tuned"

trololololol

[underager17]

lol

[wulfgyr]

viral advertising fail.



[philipcy]

twitter owned

[caryhartline]

NOTHING NEW.

[melipano]

boring?

[itsmeTIBOR]

Just show us the fucking tablet already!

[seanmacproductions]

Pause around 0:16 and look at the tablet. It looks a lot like that's notification center from the upcoming iOS 5

[pardvm]

I'm gonna laugh when Apple raise behind TabCo: up to the moment, the only company that could be The Tablet Company is Apple.

Who is TabCo?.... Apple...my 2 p for that. Who could dare to launch a completely new tablet without advising developers to create apps for that new device?

[Shromz]

I want one of these.... Tabco- Hook me up please

[JerkSoloo]

i thought you were describing me for a minute

[dsevil]

IT WILL BE WINDOWS FOR PEN COMPUTING 3.1.

[gtoddv]

In what universe is that a sneak peek? This thing better blow me before I go to work in the morning. Anything short of that is a waste of my time (after all this hype).

[Badsniper08]

Why would I be exited about a bunch of prisms stacked on top of each other? What a waste of 31 seconds.

[hollandc27]

JooJoo 2 incoming be dissapointed

[Shromz]

Can't wait. TEAMTABCO.

[idiotenwtf3]

Yup, meego!!

[TheNiggerXavi]

"Sounds like alot of" HOOPLAH! "Sounds like alot of" .HOOPLAH! "Sounds like alot of" HOOPLAH! HOOPLAH! *gets hit by a tabco product*

[socialenigma08]

is that an AIM logo I see? But I don't think this is any layout, I think its just the features that they are promoting. and the circle UI thing for a quick second.

[Dinokkio2]

Contact, calendar and phone icons seen on 0:19 look awfully lot like Maemo (N900) icons.

[hocosfreshest]

smh its not a trending topic if you pay for it to be one

[3NiZAR3]

@hocosfreshest but you came here and watched the video, thats good marketing.

[tomsuper2199]

0:16 Looks like Meego.

[bodrumbea]

hope its worth all this hyp

[BestBoyZde]

powered by Maemo 6?

[galatasaray710]

tabco? just from the name of it sounds like a failure.

[ItszMagikal]

Just another wannabe iPad

[crizcroz]

The Grid Teaser was the original name?

[bboySilver111]

this video sucks. kkthxbye for wasting my time

[MrSixOh]

I thought you said sneak peek

[kalsikum]

Yeah we need that a-ha moment. Now its just new android phones, iphones iphones, iphones. and iphones. and some ipads. We need somebody to save us from this dilemma of unrevolutionary technology.

[svwnw9]

@michaelus Haha me too!

[doublezeroseven]

where's the sneak peek?

[bankrollboost]

Well that was a useless video / ad... told me nothing.

[MichaelusMaximus]

I'm gonna laugh when there's nothing revolutionary about this tablet.

[MrSwaveySwagg]

@MichaelusMaximus Exactly what I'm saying

[xTurnipTimex]

@MichaelusMaximus so true.. if it is revolutionary I will be like WOOH.. but I will laugh when it most likely is not

[iAmPendleton]

@MichaelusMaximus I like how more people have thumbs upped your comment then the actual video!

[MichaelusMaximus]

@iAmPendleton The only reason I'm following Tabco on Twitter is so I can be the first one to laugh.

[Munkeymon]

@MichaelusMaximus no tablet has been revolutionary, so I figure you've got to be all laughed out by now right?

[Rapidnadion]

Really digging this ad campaign - hope the 15th brings us something worthy of an "aha" moment.

[WCKD85]

What's looking good? They have shown nothing. To think they are going to release a tablet 7 days from now that nobody has even seen is ridiculous. If this were real it would have been on engadget months ago. This is just a poor copy of the original droids marketing concept, only this is a hoax.

[grimpino]

I like the Terminator style music :-)

[apacheking123456789]

Looking Good Hope it Live up to all THIS HUGE HYPE!

[bana76]

"Advanced" and "stunning"? Is this a hoax by some B school students trying to prove that if you get them curious, consumers will come? I don't understand how this teaser can create hype. And on their facebook, it's all "can't tell you about this, can't tell you about that".

[grimpino]

Well if it lives up to all this hype, I'll get one!

[boybandreject00]

Heh looking good so far :o)

[kejchal]

I personaly think these ads are not bad at all. It has some good moments so I'm quite holding my thumbs for them to be succesfull. Hopefully it's not some nokia plastic bullshit :-)

[MrSwaveySwagg]

All this hype?? If your tablet doesn't sale more than the iPad (which it won't) your tablet only company will fail. BTW worst commericial ever for an unreleased tablet award CONGRATULATIONS

[dhruvbhutani]

@MrSwaveySwagg Why so serious ?

[jasontsmedley]

@MrSwaveySwagg Looks like the apple fan boy is scared. Yeah that's right I lower cased the a in apple.

[MrSwaveySwagg]

@jasontsmedley HOW DARE YOU NOT CAPTILIZE THE "A" IN APPLE....RIDICULOUS

iOS>YOUR UI

APPLE>TabCO????

[kraistus84]

Few apps(?)/icons spotted:

Pandora

ESPN Worldwide

Yahoo Movies

Facebook

Twitter

So, no Meego?
