The “Tablet Evolution” video that Motorola snuck onto Youtube the other day is now being pushed to customers via email.  If you are on any sort of Moto list, you should have received the picture above which redirects you to their ultimate CES teaser vid which might have just passed 1,000,000 views as you are reading this.  We’re fully expecting this tablet to be “DROID” branded and running Honeycomb, but Moto is expecting it to be one of the most amazing pieces of technology ever.  We’ll know in 2 weeks.

Check out the video one more time after the break.  

Trademark filings by Motorola from around the globe for the word “XOOM” have surfaced and are leading many to believe that this is in fact the name of the much anticipated Honeycomb tablet that will be unveiled in just 14 days at CES.  Filings were made in Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and of course the U.S., so we’re thinking major global push here, right?  They did ask if we were all ready to “skip a generation” yesterday and it’s now pretty obvious that this tablet is hoping to change our mobile computing ways forever.  I surely hope they succeed.

My only concern is that the name sounds a lot like “Zune.”  Or am I just crazy?

Yesterday, Motorola teased the world with their tablet evolution video, and today they’ve started the official countdown to its unveiling.  We are fully expecting this tablet to be “DROID” branded, has been hiding under the codename Everest, and will run Honeycomb, but the official name has been locked up behind the tightest NDAs ever.  You can see it in action at this video, high-res pictures of it here, and some unofficial specs here.  It’s going to be amazing.  

Ready to crank up the rumor engine?  How does the Super Bowl sound as an outlet for Motorola and Verizon to announce their 10″ Tegra 2 Honeycomb tablet?  Currently codenamed the Everest and Stingray, we fully expect it to have “DROID” branding at launch and according to the tipster that dropped the picture above on the world, February 6th in Dallas might be the day to mark on our calendars.

Thoughts on a February 6th date?

The much-anticipated Motorola tablet (Everest) has made another appearance, only this time over at Howard Forums courtesy of user wnrussell.  This appears to be the same prototype tablet which we first saw from Andy Rubin last Monday (high-res pictures) only this time we have a couple of additional shots providing a few new bits of critical info.  The device is definitely headed to Verizon.  If you check out the gallery below, we’ve got Big Red’s name featured as clear, well almost as clear as day, which means this will be the Droid tablet.

Some specs were confirmed:  1GHz dual-core NVIDIA processor, gyroscope, 32GB built in storage, SD card for more, 512MB of RAM, 1280 x 800 screen, mini-HDMI port, camera, and pure awesomeness.  This is the tablet you should be saving your money for.  

You are looking at a homescreen picture for the Motorola Everest (allegedly), which is the 10″ tablet expected to be headed to Verizon as the “DROID” tablet some time in early 2011.  The pic popped up on Mobile01 with a handful of specs from a user claiming to have fondled the device for over an hour.  So what does this beauty have packed into it?  An NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 2MP front camera, 5MP back camera, gyroscope, 32GB built-in storage plus an SD card slot.  The Moto Tablet will also launch as an LTE device, which we’ve heard in the past.

Check out these high-res Motorola Everest pictures from earlier in the week to see what the device actually looks like.  Pretty, right?

On Monday night, Andy Rubin surprised all of us when he pulled out a Motorola prototype tablet running Honeycomb (Android 3.0) and a dual-core NVIDIA processor that we’re pretty sure is the Motorola Everest (Stingray/Droid Tablet).  This would be the 10″ tablet that will be everywhere at CES in January and hopefully on store shelves by February or March.  You can watch video of it in action at this post, but we wanted to make sure you saw this crystal clear shots of it as well.  

Did anyone actually think that a day filled with Gingerbread, the Nexus S, an original Droid update, and a Droid X update with Madden could get get better?  It did.  Last night, at the D: Dive Into Mobile conference, Andy Rubin took to the stage, pulled out a prototype Motorola tablet running Honeycomb (Android 3.0) and went to town.  He talked about so many things that may seem minor, but are so huge in the broad scheme of things.

Here are some of the bombs he dropped:

• Pulled out what appeared to be the 10″ Motorola tablet.  This bad boy was ultra thin, looked incredibly light and had an amazing screen.
• This tablet does not have home, back, menu and search keys.  The buttons you press are ALL on-screen, which means they follow you around as you rotate the device.
• Showed the new Honeycomb lock screen which had a fantastic new animation.  No more swiping bars left or right in Android 3.0.  (Pictured above)
• When he unlocked it, he had Google Talk open and mentioned video icons being visible.
• He showed off Google Maps 5 which will have 3D views of cities.  It should be out for mobile devices in a few days.
• The new tablet Gmail app was displayed.  Two columns included:  one for your inbox and one to view an email.
• Honeycomb and this tablet will be out some time next year.
• Honeycomb will be able to run on both phones and tablets.  It’s not just specific to tablets although the apps are able to run in their own specific ways depending on the device.
• He also mentioned that this prototype probably costs $10,000.  Hah.
