Nexus Prime video teaser (and picture)!

I just found a different take on the teaser video. Samsung Nexus Prime To Mark Ice Cream Sandwich Debut - - Mobile OS - Informationweek According to this link, the author believes that the teaser video shows two seperate devices. Looking at it before hearing this I never saw two seperate devices, but if you look closely you can actually see what appears to be the phone on the bottom with a second device behind it and on top. Not sure what to think now. Is this actually a combo tablet/phone release?

Ice Cream Sandwich is supposed to combine Honeycomb (tablet) and Gingerbread (phone) into one OS
 
Maybe the pins have to do with built in induction charging?

Inductive charging means no pins

im just curious, they just released the sgs2, do you think they will release another samsung phone so quickly?

Yes, especially if it's SGS2 based

I don't think I would read too far into the exact design.. it's just a render..

If you can only show one side of the phone, you might fudge the render a bit just to show the interesting features.. volume controls and a power button not interesteing, dock connectors = interesting

Read into the exact design. The design, barring a bionic style redesign, is final. They are showing it in a week.

At it's thinnest it's looking to be around a 1/4" (0.25") thick. An iPhone 4 is 0.37" thick.

EDIT: It's a little tough to measure the thickest part of the phone (the chin) because of the curve, but I'd place it right about 3/8" (0.37")

This is what I got. 5" long, same thickness when I made the same measurements.

That tablet/phone combo actually came to me earlier today (been thinking about the Nexus all day) and I was like damn that would make sense. After all ICS is bringing tablets and phones together. Makes sense to launch both together too.
 
Bear with me here... i just got this idea and got really excited:

In the promo Samsung video, if you take a still picture and turn the gain all the way up you can definitely see another solid surface that extends beyond the Nexus phone.

A curved tablet?? Maybe.... but what if it's not a "tablet" but actually a flexible screen that just attaches to the Nexus to provide an even bigger viewing area. Samsung demoed amazing looking flexible screens at CES

The screen needs other electronics which are not flexible themselves... but what if all those electronics were housed in the Nexus.. and there was a simple interface (3 connector dots?) which attach the flexible screen to the phone.

This kind of mobile experience would reshape not only the phone market.. but the very young tablet market also.

Interesting idea and could be part of the "Goes with" ad. Would be a game changer of sorts and make people forget about the 4S.

I hope you're right. That would be amazing. That video from CES is very impressive. I hadn't seen that before.

I don't really like the software buttons. Hope Google will allow companies to choose virtual buttons or hardware buttons based on screen size. On a Nexus S that would make the screen feel to small.
