Those better be 3D glasses Scoble is supporting, 'cause I'd hate to think he was wearing shades indoors like a douche.

[eGuiders]

they are 3D glasses (light polarized shades).

What does he say at the end regarding the shipping time?

[eGuiders]

I think January 2012.

[Jarhead46]

Cheap, plasticky, poor quality screen. I laughed out loud when he said they are using Gingerbread, which is only meant for phones, because Honeycomb is not stable enough. At least he realizes Android is "not very good at the UI stuff".

Tablets are personal computers and Vizio sells commodity TV's. I think they are in a for a few surprises jumping into the tablet market.

[ElZappata]

If anything, this will draw from XOOM buyers and other Android potential buyers, if people want a Ipad, they will just buy an Ipad.

[eGuiders]

the winds of innovation were blowing strong that day :)

In reality, you never know if they are going to take you outside to show you something, where it was windy...

[merophosis]

This thing is a joke in comparison to the tablets out there today.

[Mike Trieu]

Is he saying that even the latest Android 3.1 update is too unstable for them? Nice job on the speaker placement. Finally, a manufacturer that understands this fundamental concept!
