Woah! The Tab 8.9 is looking like a beautiful device!
Here is a teaser of the upcoming unpacked event:

Coming March 22nd.
The device is mega thin, but here's hoping that it has choice internals (Exynos 4210) to compliment its ultra-chic exterior.
It looks like this may be the crown jewel of the new Tab family.
After some analysis of the video:
The device is likely going to be 8mm thin or less
. There's a small hump for the 3.5mm headphone jack, and an even smaller hump for the camera on the rear. It is really, really thin!
The lines look absolutely gorgeous, and it seems to be a departure from other tablet designs. It features a nice textured back and a very good looking chrome detailing along the edges.
The aspect-ratio of the entire device looks to be 4:3 rather than 16:9. This may compare more closely with the iPad in form factor than any other Tab device. It certainly isn't the ultra-long device I linked to earlier.
The bezel seems to be normal sized, which means it will be larger than the 7" Tab in form factor.
This tablet has been announced to run Honeycomb, but if you look at the attached pictures (levels modified to reveal on-screen content), you can see what look like Touchwiz 4.0 widgets on the screen! This also gives you a feel for the size of the bezel.
The camera looks to be in the corner as opposed to the middle of the device. The camera lens is cased in a chrome square with rounded corners. There is a rectangular flash below it. Quite an elegant look.
In one of the shots, there's a strange hole that *looks* like a headphone jack, but is missing the well-known hump (pictures attached). If these pictures are accurate, then I'm stumped as to what this can be.
It seems that there's a sim/microSD tray and speakers/dock in one of the shots. This could also be a mico USB or some other port. Nothing fancy, though it does look well presented.
