In this video you see the flashing red border in the upper left corner when the site is loading. CB Kevin thought that was a
low battery indication from the promo video released awhile back. However, here we see the battery
nearly full and it going off. I think it is a general notification indicator similar to how the handsets have a blinking red led.
Another thing is the navigator menu being shown to deactivate apps in certain situations. For example, in this video he sets it to "never (all singing, all dancing)"
which allows him to view videos even minimized in the background. Other options include "when they leave full screen" & "when new applications become full screen".
Also, as far as battery, the rep said they're still optimizing but "pretty confident we're gonna get a full days charge on it".
Sounded pretty optimistic to me.
The options/settings menu is looking much more polished than usual too. We get a shot of the about screen showing version 1.0.1.1225
so it's important to use this as a reference for any future revisions and how they compare.
Edit: Since CX MADE me include this , here is the rotation lock that appeared on the latest build from SXSW. Obviously, it should
be a great feature for those wanting to prevent the device from auto rotating as the device is physically reorientated.
Here's a quick animation I created to show how the top general notification bar is brought down within apps when the red led goes off. At least this is
how it's done on the latest simulator 0.9.4. It seems to work the same way with most of the video demonstrations I've seen recently.

Does anyone know if you can do a diagonal swipe to bring up a notification list? Similar to how you do a diagonal swipe at the bottom left to bring up the keyboard. Have we even seen a pic of what the notification screen looks like?

we haven't seen anything about notifications as of yet, but i wouldn't be surprised if thats how you access them, that is a really good idea btw!
I don't know if he was on MiFi or Wifi but he DID say himself he was on WiFi. This video makes me nervous about the web browser. Not only was the web page loading slow but the rendering and the responsiveness to touch seemed buggy.
I have not been negative about the PB but this really does not look good. RIM is at the 11th hour now, the web browser should look near ready -- this is not it.

I honestly think it was the connection speed. I could be wrong but I'm not concerned about the performance of the browser given the capabilities of the software and hardware.

I hope you are right but the blank portion of the finished rendering (the progress bar disappeared so it has finished loading the page) does not look right. And then being unresponsive when they tried touching the link several times...
he says WIFI from what i hear. But the browser glitching didnt really bother me. The fact he said the battery was not optimized yet was much more surprising. a day of use is not really accurate. you can use it for 5 hours straight or you can just turn it on and let it sit. i know the xoom lasts for 12 hours uptime, 2-3 days of use i would say
Thanks guys! Hopefully we get some good news in the next few days. I'm hoping CTIA will bring us a release date so we can finally get our hands on one within the next weeks. Cross your fingers!
