LG Optimus Pad (G-Slate) First Look at MWC [Video]
The Android tablet scene is starting to look quite a bit different. Dozens of lack-luster and poorly designed slates are giving a way to a handful of powerful tablet PCs featuring Android 3.0. With this unified UI experience comes a slight drawback: two of the Honeycomb devices we have seen — the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Motorola XOOM — feature remarkably similar spec sheets. The LG Optimus Pad doesn’t fade into the crowd however, with a 8.9-inch widescreen design that mixes the portability of the 7-inch Galaxy Tab with the fuller-featured experience of Honeycomb on a large screen.
Operating system aside, other than its 8.9-inch screen the Optimus Pad (or G-Slate in the States) hosts another unique design element, the ability to record 3D content. As you will see in our quick hands-on, the Optimus Tab can’t playback that video in 3D, but it can stream via HDMI or DLNA to your 3D TV set or the Optimus 3D handset. If you really need 3D on the Optimus Tab, there is a way via the camcorders anaglyph mode. This is your traditional red/cyan 3D glasses of yesteryear, so you’ll look extra dorky if this is the case. So, what do you think?
