    Dunno if someone has already made a thread about this but, a guy got sent his switch early. So, we get the video below.

    We did not get a thread
    The reason is because it was a vid.me link, which most people wouldn't normally think of clicking (or looking for for that matter). Said video has over 2 million views already.

    As for the OS itself, it looks fairly simple. Like mixing Android UI and menus with Windows Metro tiles for your main stuff

    The Dev side has also been shown but in screenshots only

    Wait, had people not already seen this? I thought there would have been photos all over the place, because I saw it at the Tokyo Big Site event.

    Yeah. I thought that someone dumped and released firmware already.

    Now that is the exact definition of wishful thinking.

    So the initial screen is just going to be blank for the best part of a year then? Not the best design choice if you've got absolutely nothing to fill it.

    The Wii had icons covering at least half of the initial screen. But that was also an awful looking design, although then they had the excuse of having to keep it simple for motion controls.
