There's your scrolling whenever it's not","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":269.68,"end_s":275.28,"text":"waiting for the page to load.

I assume they were, but that's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":292.32,"end_s":298.56,"text":"apps and options. And then this is the back button.

Oh, let's look at another tablet through a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":305.36,"end_s":311.44,"text":"tablet. It's like a tablet seion. So, there's your dedicated back","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":309.759,"end_s":315.759,"text":"button. On the side, we find a bunch of stuff.

It's a very flat screen,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":399.68,"end_s":405.84,"text":"no ripple to it, and you can just barely make out some vertical lines.

This is an 8.9 in Android 4.0 ice cream sandwich tablet. Okay, it uses a 4x3 aspect ratio, so it's 1024 x 768 in terms of the screen resolution. Let's have a look at what's included. Oh yeah. Okay, it's got a fairly complete overall accessory package. This is handy. So, a mini USB to full-size USB adapter allows you to easily plug a USB device. Even hey, if you even wanted to use like a 3G modem USB adapter, you can even plug that in. So, while the unit is not 3G capable out of the box, you can use that as a solution as well. This is just for data transfer and syncing and whatnot. You've got a power cable for charging. Takes about 5 hours to charge the device from a standstill according to the manufacturer spec. We have another USB cable. So, this one's USB A to mini B. So, for whatever that's for. Okay. Lots of USB cables. We've got, for whatever reason, what appear to be Apple OEM headphones. Really? They must be clones. Mhm. Yeah, they must be clones. Okay. Well, white headphones that are included. Okay. We've got a little guide to Android 4.0. Let's have a look at the tablet itself. So you can see the screen has what is called a bubble screen. So this is a capacitive fivepoint multi-touch screen. And the technology behind it is because the but no I'm just kidding. Uh it does have a fivepoint capacitive multi-touch screen but it is not a bubble screen. That is just a screen protector that came in the box. So you can see the aesthetic is an awful lot like the iPad. It does have a front- mounted camera as well as a rear-mounted camera. So you can use it for chat applications. Um, that card that I threw over there covered up my notes, but let's go ahead and uh take the back off of here. Oh, that's quite nice actually. Has a metal back. So, kind of a anodized uh metal finish on the back that seems like it should be reasonably durable. Not much flex to the unit. Great. Okay. Volume controls are here. These look familiar. Um, and then that's You know what? Give me a sec here, guys. So, I don't remember where we left off anymore. It's actually been a while. While I connected to Wi-Fi, I installed Angry Birds because everyone loves Angry Birds. Look at those birds. They're so angry. Actually, that's the only one that's angry. He's more confused and so is he. He's sad and he's really confused. And uh hopefully it'll go ahead and sort of let me play the game. Overall, the tablet is very smooth. It's actually using an A8 processor, so it's while it's not necessarily the Yeah, we get it. Uh while it's not necessarily the newest possible thing, it does run pretty uh pretty cleanly, pretty smoothly. You can see scrolling around here, scrolling around inside the ice cream sandwich various home screens. Um internet is not tested yet, but hopefully it's pretty good because we're about to try it. No idea. I guess the Oh, okay. Give it a sec. All right, so let's open a new tab. Let's uh go ahead and go somewhere. So, let's go to ncixx.com because there's a bunch of flash and stuff going on. And again, one of the advantages of Android tablets versus an iOS device is the ability to run Flash. So, you can see all of the helpful advertisements on NCIX.com such as this one. Actually, it's possible we don't have Flash installed on it yet. So, oh no, there it is. Okay. So, web browsing could be smoother, although that's a complaint about Android in general. So, probably helps if I Oh, wait, wait. Give it a sec. There we go. Okay, so not too bad. Let's go to the uh form. Wow, accuracy is really good. I was able to click on that tiny little form button without any difficulty whatsoever. Um, huh, look at that. So web browsing could be faster, but don't hold that against the tablet because part of the problem is almost well is definitely the fact that we have so many interfering Wi-Fi connections around here. There's got to be about 25 wireless networks within range of the tech tips room, which is one of the reasons it's so difficult for us to demo anything wireless in here. So basically there's your wh there's your zooming looks a little something like that. There's your scrolling whenever it's not waiting for the page to load. So, actually not not bad at all, especially given the price point. So, let's just see if there's anything else. Right. Right. We haven't even looked at the unit physically yet. So, this is a 16 gig model. There's a sticker somewhere that says 16 GB. It's a 2 megapixel camera on the back. Um Oh, right. Whatever these buttons did. So, these buttons evidently are not volume control. I assume they were, but that's apps and options. And then this is the back button. So, you actually have a physical back button, which is kind of cool. Oh, that's a camera apparently. Oh, let's look at another tablet through a tablet. It's like a tablet seion. So, there's your dedicated back button. On the side, we find a bunch of stuff. So, there is your uh grill for your speakers. There's your headphone jack. There's your mini USB. There's your micro SD. So, you can put up to a 32 gig micro SD in here for expanded storage. There is your uh right that's where you can plug in the 3G dongle using that included cable. Then there is your ah mini HDMI. Excellent. Power and finally well power in and then the power button. So battery life is in the neighborhood of depending on who you ask anywhere from about 5 to 10 hours. And it can go up to 20 days in standby which is nice. Um I have an Android tablet that doesn't last that long in standby by and it's kind of a pain in the butt. Not this one. It's a different one. Um 1024x 768 screen. I think we covered that. Supports HD playback. Doesn't have Bluetooth unfortunately, but obviously it does have Wi-Fi. Front back camera, can connect to Yep. Yep. Yep. Can expand mini HDMI. And I think that pretty much covers it. So, basically, in a nutshell, nice overall my nice overall build with the metal back that is very fingerprint resistant. like no matter what I try to do, it's not getting all grubbed up, which is a complaint that I have even about the iPad and, you know, in spite of its otherwise awesomeness because Apple made it and it is therefore amazing. Um, screen actually feels pretty good. The screen is is actually pretty impressive. I hate personally seeing the touchscreen interface of a tablet. I find that very very bothersome. Um, and you really can't see it. It's a very flat screen, no ripple to it, and you can just barely make out some vertical lines. I thought you couldn't see it at all actually until I just saw those now. So, it doesn't bother me at all. Even compared to something like Transformer Gen One where it's got those dots all over the screen. That just drove me crazy. Yes. Crazy enough to like say it like that, like crazy. Uh, so we're going to install Fruit Ninja free just to check out the uh accept and download. Check out the fivepoint multi-touch. Guess we can also see the download speed here, which is pretty good considering we're in the tech tips room. I just re reset the router, so maybe that's uh maybe that's helping a little bit. Or maybe it jumped the gun there. Hard to say. So you guys Yeah. I mean, this is some this is some usability time with the tablet. There's your responsiveness. I'm actually I'm overall I'm pretty impressed, especially given the price point. It's not bad at all. We can like go on the YouTubes and uh can see if we can find a video of like some guy talking about tablets or something. If you guys want to see a video of like a Oops. Okay, there we go. If you guys want to see a video of a really unresponsive tablet, I'll show you a really good one. Um it's like lols. Um yeah, that one. This one. It was like eight minutes in between trying to do things and them actually happening. Lus tech tips video. How do I adjust the volume if those aren't volume buttons? There must be some way. I don't know. Slick's pointing at something, but I don't know what to do. H sound. This probably isn't the fastest way to do it, but it's done now. There we go. Okay, back. I'm not actually an Android expert by any stretch of the imagination. So, here. Not bad. It actually looks really good. What do you think? This looks naughty. There's a limited warranty. Okay. Something about one year. Okay. So, it has a one-year warranty. Viewing angle is not bad either, actually. Wow. Why don't we have a look at that after we turn it on? And then we have a little Yeah, I'd say it's very usable from about here to about here. So, that's pretty nice, actually. Here. Well, why don't you look at it stand? That's awesome. Okay, so moving along. Fruit Ninja free. We get to see my Fruit Ninja skills and then I think we're pretty much done. How long is this video? That's a long video. Sorry guys. Tablets are one of those things where if we don't do a little bit of usability though, then the video is sort of a waste. Anyway, nobody cares about Open Faint and my stats on Fruit Ninja free. Come on, you can do it. Zoom to fill screen. Stretch to fill screen. Zoom. Stretch. Zoom stretch. Zoom stretch. Zoom stretch. Okay, give me a sec, guys. All right, so here's our Fruit Ninja demo. It did finally manage to load. Ah, and then for sure it'll be a bomb next. I've played this game before. So, there's our five. This is the hackore way to play. Ha. Whoa, so deep. Oh, damn. Okay, well, it's got a gig of RAM, which I didn't mention before. And I think that pretty much covers it. Thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at this pretty valueoriented, and I'd say pretty good value little tablet.
