hi Dave Taylor here again and you know
0:06
every year I go to the Consumer
0:07
Electronic Show and part of what I'm
0:09
looking for are those really cool new
0:11
things the stuff that's really going to
0:13
change the world now a lot of times
0:16
that's fancy super expensive technology
0:19
4K television Ultra HD curved screens
0:24
that kind of stuff but sometimes it's
0:26
just about price and one of the things
0:28
that really caught my eye this year at
0:30
the Consumer Electronics Show was ubis
0:33
slate uh actually they might pronounce
0:35
it ubis slate but I think of it as ubis
0:37
slate and you can learn more about him
0:39
at ubis slate. us what was interesting a
0:44
$37 Touch tablet so that's what I have
0:47
here this is the ubis slate
0:50
7ci and here come come over my shoulder
0:53
you can see how it works it's an Android
0:56
4.0 tablet with a 7in screen so same
1:00
size as an iPad Mini for $37 all right
1:04
$37.99 okay so there are two actual
1:07
options cuz there's the 7ci which is
1:10
this unit and it runs like I said about
1:13
$38 plus shipping 38 bucks you can lose
1:16
one of these and it's not stressful and
1:19
then they have the 7c plus now this one
1:23
let me uh get the screen to turn on this
1:26
one it's the same basic tablet but the
1:29
thing is they also add all the cell
1:30
phone circuitry so you can drop a SIM
1:33
card into this and this can make phone
1:35
calls and use your internet connection
1:37
use your cell phone as the internet
1:39
connection so super cool and this one's
1:42
$99 plus obviously you'd have to get
1:44
your own cell service so between the two
1:46
of these honestly I see these as game
1:49
changers because now imagine a school
1:52
instead of them saying well we can't
1:54
really give iPads to kids because those
1:56
are $3 $400 a pop now you say well what
1:59
if it's 40 bucks for us to give it to
2:01
each kid or what if we actually get a
2:03
bulk purchase price now I don't know
2:05
whether they do that cuz it's already
2:07
unbelievably inexpensive and here's the
2:09
other thing that really amazes me this
2:11
has a really good build quality so when
2:14
I get something that's really
2:15
inexpensive my expectation is it's going
2:17
to feel inexpensive but this is a nicely
2:21
made product this has solid buttons on
2:24
it it's metal back it has it has a nice
2:27
solid feel to it comes with a 4 gig
2:30
micro SD card and you know what you can
2:32
put in a bigger micro SD card you can
2:34
have it up to 32 gig that's plenty of
2:36
space it plays movies does music
2:39
internet Facebook the web everything
2:42
that you'd want you know you can
2:43
actually get a Kindle app for it or
2:46
again
2:47
$37.99 so I think this is a game changer
2:51
I think that when you're thinking about
2:53
well how do we get data out to people
2:55
how do we give people this 600 page
2:57
document or something you know what for
3:00
less than the price of printing that 600
3:02
page document you can download it all
3:03
onto this tablet and let people use it
3:06
that way and have a digital copy super
3:08
amazing I don't really know how they got
3:10
the price this low but if you're looking
3:12
for a lowcost tablet even just for
3:14
experimentation even if you just want to
3:16
learn more about Android then the price
3:19
cannot be beat and it's ubis slate. us
3:22
they also have international offices and
3:24
such so go to the US not the.com you can
3:28
also get there from the Doom but the US
3:30
will start you in the right place and
3:32
check it out I'm telling
3:34
you I'm really pretty amazed I see a lot
3:37
of technology and I rarely see something
3:39
that I think has the possibility of
3:41
changing the way we think about
3:43
deploying technology either in education
3:46
or in business I've been looking at
3:48
these real closely now and I keep
3:50
thinking gosh when I do a workshop what
3:52
if I just hand everyone the notes on
3:54
this so this is Dave Taylor saying keep
3:57
an eye out for really amazing things let
3:59
know if you see something cool and I'll
4:01
see you in my next video
