Default Conflicting 8.9" Specs - MicroSD & Camera pixels!

It seems like there is a conflict in reported specs!

In this video from Engadget (with the dummy's that don't turn on), the 8.9" has a MicroSD slot (http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/22/s...nner-than-the/), however, in PhoneArena's play with the functioning 8.9", there is no MicroSD slot. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jkOyPxvobc).

Also, in the above PhoneArena video, the Camera appears to be 5 megapixel??

I know they are just prototypes at the moment, but confirmed specs would be good Samsung!!

It says in the video, right under the spec sheet on the tablet "product design and specifications are subject to change without notice or obligation".

Based on what I've read, these working units are prototypes, and are less current than the ones that they're directly telling press are "US Models", which are the ones that aren't turning on, and have more of a textured back, kinda like a soft-touch finish I guess.

These working prototypes to show of the TouchWiz4.0 UX have the super glossy backs, or are older versions of the 10.1v from MWC. These are more meant to show of the software, and will not necessarily 100% mirror what the hardware at launch will be. That's my understanding of it.

Not totally sure what all is true but there seems to be a couple different models around out there.

The PhoneArena tablet in the video is definitely the prototype.. I didn't watch the entire video, but judging from the comments it wasn't mentioned. That video needs to be taken down or edited, it isn't doing any good. The ones posted on Engadget are surely the real ones.

Yea, the video on AndroidCentral was edited to say as such. All that video can offer is a quick look at the TouchWiz, not the hardware.
