screen","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":394.639,"end_s":402.28,"text":"which is actually a little easier I mean what the keyboard is actually for is for","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":399.319,"end_s":407.319,"text":"typing so this oh okay well I accidentally hit a key at the beginning","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":403.599,"end_s":409.4,"text":"but this keyboard is actually pretty","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":407.319,"end_s":417.16,"text":"comfortable okay well I'm talking while I type so it makes it uh lots more","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":413.56,"end_s":419.24,"text":"difficult but the responsiveness is good","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":417.16,"end_s":422.96,"text":"the uh

going","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":454.44,"end_s":459.72,"text":"to be in a situation where the functionality is dramatically improved","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":458.039,"end_s":463.36,"text":"because now all of a sudden just by carrying a little mouse little Bluetooth","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":461.24,"end_s":467.479,"text":"mouse and this skinny keyboard you can have all of those extra input options so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":465.879,"end_s":474.68,"text":"the last thing I'm going to look at is the HD speaker dock now our last big","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":470.84,"end_s":477.639,"text":"accessory here is the HD speaker dock","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":474.68,"end_s":482.0,"text":"and what this allows us to do is dock it the same way we would on the normal dock","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":479.919,"end_s":486.24,"text":"which is weighted it powers and charges the device this has all of that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":483.72,"end_s":492.879,"text":"functionality as well but this one adds external speakers to the zoom which are","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":489.039,"end_s":492.879,"text":"actually quite loud Distortion","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":494.52,"end_s":501.56,"text":"free and definitely make for a satisfying gaming experience okay let's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":500.319,"end_s":505.56,"text":"also have a look at the other functionality of the HD speaker dock","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":503.879,"end_s":508.759,"text":"though check this out so you got your your speaker here you can see it's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":506.879,"end_s":517.039,"text":"substantially larger than the regular dock it is also powered by a um an","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":513.32,"end_s":519.88,"text":"inline power brick like this and you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":517.039,"end_s":524.76,"text":"also have

one the HD","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":527.279,"end_s":535.44,"text":"speaker dock is also compatible not only with the zoom by itself but you can also","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":532.8,"end_s":541.68,"text":"take it off and you can switch the mounting piece so that instead it is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":538.16,"end_s":543.04,"text":"compatible with the zoom in its case so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":541.68,"end_s":547.16,"text":"it adds a

I'll","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":557.0,"end_s":566.12,"text":"be looking more in depth at the zoom itself on NCI Tech tips in the near","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":561.8,"end_s":566.12,"text":"future as part of a tablet Roundup","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"now I promise you guys more tablet coverage over the next little while so the first one that I'm going to be looking at besides my so unpopular iPad 2 unboxing is the Motorola Zoom now every tablet manufacturer on the Android side has to find different ways to differentiate themselves because remember it's all running on the same platform Apple has the hardware and the software to different differentiate themselves from the rest of the market but these guys actually have to work a little harder for it so the Motorola Zoom features the Tegra 2 processor so that is a dual core processor with an advanced Graphics chip built in so this is an NVIDIA uh an NVIDIA initiative that they've worked very hard to bring to market now one of the ways that Motorola differentiates themselves actually there's a couple different ways one is battery life the zoom actually has exceptional battery life even from my personal experience with it and the other is the accessories so there's a ton of actual Motorolla official accessories you don't have to rely on Cheo third parties to necessarily make the accessories that go with it so I'm going to show you guys the zoom up close as well as some select accessories here including a Bluetooth keyboard the protective portfolio case the speaker HD dock these are all Motorola accessories as well as the regular dock which I have it mounted on right now so let's have a closer look at the unit itself it uses a dual core tager 2 as I mentioned before it has a 10.1 in that is a 1280x 800 resolution screen so it is capable of displaying 720p content on it okay let's let's check out what we got in terms of physical attributes here so we have our power in this is an HDMI output we've also got USB okay so moving around that appears to be a microphone on the other side pretty much nothing very clean overall look you got a headphone Port as well as a Micro SD slot now at the time of doing this video see there's your micro SD placeholder the micro SD slot is not yet enabled but there is some functionality that's coming very very soon so of note is the fact that right here on the back we have an 5 megapixel as well as HD video camera so that is 5 megapixel still images and 720p video we have a flash we also have stereo speakers and there is your power and unlock key you got a little Motorola logo there okay on the other side we find volume buttons now one of the things to note about this tablet is is clearly meant to be used in portrait mode because you can tell this the volume buttons are here the camera is here so when you compare that to the iPad 2 for example which has the camera here and has your volume control here that's meant to be used more in portrait mode because it's widescreen this is what's going to deliver the most satisfying overall experience so one of the things like I said that really sets the zoom apart is the fact that here what's a good example why don't we use uh actually you know what no this one's not as impressive let's do uh let's do this one right here we're going to run rip tide on the HDMI output so it is as simple as plugging this this is actually a Motorola HDMI cable into the although it's standard compatible you can just buy one and then you can you can use it into any monitor or television and you can play games from your tablet on the big screen whether it's a monitor or a TV so here we are we're getting started uh you want to watch you want to watch the screen there so so check this out Tigra 2 allows us to play way way more graphically intensive games than the uh the than the processor on the iPad 2 or iPad 1 especially but even the iPad 2 so you can see here that this is running very you know 3D lots of water effects and all that good stuff it looks much more impressive actually when you put it up on the bigger screen versus on the smaller screen just because you can really see the amount of detail that goes into it and that's we can cut off that clip there so next let's have a quick look at the protective portfolio case which I have not actually yet seen so it actually has like a rubberized feel to the outside it would be very very difficult to accidentally drop it The outsides are a hard plastic so that's going to protect you from a small incidental fall but nothing major okay how to use your Motorola Zoom portfolio comes with a little uh instruction thing so you know what let me uh let me Mount this in and then I'll be back well took me only a couple seconds to mount it you basically just snap the unit in and now I have it in its carrying case this is actually a little bit smarter than Apple's carrying case now the device does not wake when you open it but personally I have no problem pressing a button at the back to turn on the device when I'm going to use it so I'm not too worried about that particular functionality but it does do a few things that are kind of cool first of all you unsnap the bottom half of it just like that oh now it turned off okay maybe that would be a handy feature okay and then you just go like this so you want to use it flat you fold it on itself just like that hook it in there now you are able to use the tablet flat you're able to access all of your buttons and you are ready to go okay couple other things you want to use a high viewing angle so this would be ideal for watching movies for example if you're putting it in front of you on a plane on your uh tray in the upright position or whatever the case may be sit and watch a movie or if you want to use it in a more laptop esque kind of environment then what you can do is you can go ahead and you can mount it like that now all of a sudden you can type on it using a wireless keyboard and with the upcoming firmware update to 3 .1 we are not only going to get that micro SD slot enabled but we're also going to get support for not only a keyboard but also a mouse at the same time did you turn it off yeah are you sure oh all right so pairing up the keyboard was just a matter of okay well now the device is going to standby but pairing up the keyboard was just a matter of turning on Bluetooth and now I can navigate around inside the menus I mean if I didn't want to use the touch screen which is actually a little easier I mean what the keyboard is actually for is for typing so this oh okay well I accidentally hit a key at the beginning but this keyboard is actually pretty comfortable okay well I'm talking while I type so it makes it uh lots more difficult but the responsiveness is good the uh the comfort is quite nice it's very very low profile so you can actually pack it around with you and it takes standard ablea batteries so you don't have to worry about uh recharging it if you run into trouble you can just buy some aa's and you are good to go it also has all of the usual Android short key shortcut keys so you got your home button you've got chat you've got the market you've got your Gmail music internet volume uh play some media controls all of that good stuff I actually don't know what this button does oh okay so that brings out the uh context menus so when you have the mouse functionality that's going to come in the 3.1 update then I think we're going to be in a situation where the functionality is dramatically improved because now all of a sudden just by carrying a little mouse little Bluetooth mouse and this skinny keyboard you can have all of those extra input options so the last thing I'm going to look at is the HD speaker dock now our last big accessory here is the HD speaker dock and what this allows us to do is dock it the same way we would on the normal dock which is weighted it powers and charges the device this has all of that functionality as well but this one adds external speakers to the zoom which are actually quite loud Distortion free and definitely make for a satisfying gaming experience okay let's also have a look at the other functionality of the HD speaker dock though check this out so you got your your speaker here you can see it's substantially larger than the regular dock it is also powered by a um an inline power brick like this and you also have support for the HDMI out whereas the regular dock actually blocks the HDMI port you do not have support for HDMI out using that one the HD speaker dock is also compatible not only with the zoom by itself but you can also take it off and you can switch the mounting piece so that instead it is compatible with the zoom in its case so it adds a little bit of extra buffer space around the back so you can put it in on the carrying case so thank you for checking out my overview of the Motorola Zoom don't forget to subscribe to lus techtips for unboxings reviews and other computer videos actually this is more of an overview of the zoom accessories I'll be looking more in depth at the zoom itself on NCI Tech tips in the near future as part of a tablet Roundup"}
