This morning, as expected after the phone announcement, Canonical have unveiled a new ‘tablet’ version of Ubuntu. It shares some of the Ubuntu Phone OS elements, but it also comes with new features such as a "Side Stage" which lets you use phone and tablet apps in the same time. If the trailer spiked your interest check out the 6 minute video with Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth as he goes over the features.

Smart E-Book Interface Prototype Demo http://mitchmckenna.com/post/10724/kaist-itc-smart-e-book-interface-prototype-demo

The KAIST Institute of Information Technology Convergence has posted this video demonstrating their patented eBook interface prototype.

The prototype is implemented on an Apple iPad but reportedly uses private Apple APIs, so it likely wouldn't be approved for the App Store, but the video shows a number of very cool and intuitive ways to navigate eBooks besides the simple "page flip" motion found on Apple's iBooks app.

Motorola XOOM - Honeycomb Tablet http://mitchmckenna.com/post/8879/official-motorola-xoom-honeycomb-tablet-video-1

The Motorola XOOM will join the Galaxy Tab in the land of popular Android Tablets, but Motorola has a bit of an advantage on the XOOM as it's the first to run Android 3.0 honeycomb which is optimized for the tablet experience, one of my favorite being tabbed browsing.

The device sports a Nvidia Tegra 2, 1GHz dual core processor, a 10.1-inch screen (at 1280x800 and a 16:10 aspect ratio), rear 5MP camera, front 2MP camera and 4G connectivity.

Check out the 2nd Motorola Xoom video for more on Motorola's development process.

Samsung GALAXY Tab Official Commercial http://mitchmckenna.com/post/8131/galaxy-tab-samsung-galaxy-tab-official-commercial

As we have seen with all of the Galaxy S series phones, Samsung has released its own commercial for the new Galaxy Tab. The 30-second spot showcases the way the Tab can fit into your busy lifestyle, and should be a big hit with it's upbeat feel and cheery atmosphere. You can check it out after the jump, and keep an eye out for it on your television -- I have a feeling there's going to be one heck of a push behind this one.

New HP Slate Ad Shows Off What iPad Can't Do http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7012/new-hps-slate-device-a-full-mobile-experience

HP released a new video showing off its upcoming "iPad killer"--the Slate tablet PC. The video is reminiscent of Verizon's "Droid Does" campaign highlighting all of the capabilities of the Android-based Droid that the Apple iPhone can't deliver. In a mere 30 seconds HP manages to demonstrate that its tablet is--in a nutshell--everything Apple's iPad isn't.
