 This is Joanna for The Verge and I'm here with Ravi from Barnes & Noble and he's going to give us a quick look here at the Nook tablet, a little bit of the UI and sort of the speed enhancements. So we're in a magazine now, huh? This is a National Geographic magazine. So see how beautiful the page turns are and how smooth it is. Yeah, very nice. You can zoom and pan, see how smooth this is. Can we see a video real quick? Sure. You can also landscape more. Cool, I'm just trying to show now sort of the viewing angles on the screen are really good, really bright. Yeah, and that's the thing of the lamination no air gap, right? You can view it even from, especially good when you're trying to read for your kids or you're now watching a movie with someone. Cool. So these are the different pages. And so how do you get back to the home screen? You press the Nook button? Yep, press the Nook button and back to the home screen. And so have you guys done anything different here with the home screen, a few different panes now or? Yeah, we have all these little widgets here. I mean, with one click you can go to books or newsstand, whatever you're reading and just go to new content. And then is this like if you go here, will you, can you customize these pages? Yeah, you can customize. You can go and drag and drop anything right there. Very cool. So I just saw the Netflix app. Would you mind opening that real quick? Just see it real quick. Yeah, you're just, you were seeing the Toy Story. You want me to open it again? Yep. So this is what I was watching last. And then, I know the wifi is a little bit leaking here, but it was working before. There we go. All right. So this is just standard. Toy Story 3. This is streaming at HD, 720p HD. Nice. Looks good. And then over the wifi here. Yeah, I mean, look at this, right? I mean, that's the power of the lamination and that. Yeah, I'm trying to show some of the viewing angles on the camera. Very cool. And then do you mind just jumping back again to the apps? Just trying to give them a little bit of a tour here in the short time we have. This is another video. So this is the native player. Yeah. And so, is this 1080p? I know you guys were counting 1080p playback. I think this particular video, I can show you 1080p. Yeah, that would be great. This looks really nice. Cool. I think that's enough to show you. I think this is probably at 1080p. Nice. Is this the whole movie or the... Yeah, this looks like the whole movie. Here's a clip, yeah. Very cool. And just like jump back to the main home screen again and just try to navigate there. And if you wouldn't mind also opening the browser. So this is a new shop, right? And there's all the departments you can do with one click. Okay. Browse for books, magazines. And these are all your best sellers. Since you're in a store, you have the Read in Store, More in Store. And now you can get all the kids content with one click. And then you can choose interactive kids books, Read to Me, best sellers. Very cool. So these are all some of the new UI enhancements we've kind of made. Yeah, it looks pretty snappy. And so the apps, the apps are in the other area. Yeah, these are all the apps. So in the merchandising and discovery apps is a lot more easier and faster. And even though the Wi-Fi is slow, still quickly it loads, right? You got Angry Birds there. Yep. Nice. And so lastly, can we just see the browser real quick? Sure, you can go to, what's your favorite site? The Verge, theverge.com. The Verge? The Verge. T-H-E. There you go. That's your stuff. That's me. That's you there. Well, thank you very much for the demo. Yep, you're welcome. Thank you. Bye.
