Verizon leaks mystery Honeycomb tablet in video

mobile

Verizon Wireless leaked, and subsequently pulled, a video that showed a woman using an unannounced Android Honeycomb-powered tablet. Judging from the picture grabbed by Droid-Life, the tablet definitely doesn’t resemble the Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Flyer, or the XOOM, so it appears Verizon has a new tablet up its sleeve. But what is it? A new summer tablet launch would certainly be exciting and since there’s already promo material that includes the device, we likely won’t have to wait long to find out.

        I use Hulu Plus on my PS3, as opposed to subscribing to cable. Who cares about having it on a tablet?

        I do.  I subscribe to both Netflix and Hulu.  Having Netflix on my phone is great, but the screen is rather small.  Hulu isn’t yet for Android.  I want to be able to watch a show when I am not at home or traveling.

        I am often working on my laptop and need the whole screen.  Playing videos on it, while I am working, just isn’t feasible.  I may also need to be on my phone or make sure it is available for calls.  Why shouldn’t I be able to have Hulu playing a show?!  My tablet is perfect for this.

        I have a Dell Streak 7, which doesn’t even have the DRM needed for Netflix.  I also have an iPad2, which I currently use for streaming while traveling.  I do prefer the Dell’s 7″ screen for videos though.  I can’t wait for both Hulu and Netflix to be supported on it.

      Functional Gtalk? It works great on Honeycomb…

    Does anyone even care when one of these things are released anymore? It’s like Android phones: Unmemorable. No wonder these tablets don’t sell and iPad is reaping all the benefits. Just bought an iPad and even my grandma knew what it was.

      Well, I have a NookColor and a Dell Streak 7, as well as an iPad2.  No matter what device I am using, everyone calls it an iPad.  The term is starting to become synonymous with “tablet”.

    It almost looks like an iPad 2 with a case (VZW branded, obviously).

      I agree.  The only difference being the placement of the camera.  At least on my iPad2, the camera is on the other side.

      I am going to go with the newer Galaxy Tab, since Samsung copies Apple!

    Its the new apple game console.

  • I’m an idiot

    It’s clearly a new cell phone with a built in print that will print you money and grant 3 wishes. It’s powered by a continuum transfunctioner. I’ve seen it.
