LG Optimus Pad is the European cousin of the T-Mobile G-Slate tablet. It has a 8.9 inches display, positioning it right between the iPad's 9.7" and the Galaxy Tabs 7" screens. In terms of raw power, the LG Optimus Pad will utilize NVIDIA's one and only Tegra 2 chipset, which fares quite decently, at least judging by our personal impressions with the Optimus 2X. What's more interesting in this device however is its ability to capture 3D content with the two 5MP sensors found on its back. Unfortunately, users won't be able to watch glasses-free 3D on.
The LG Optimus Pads 8.9-inch screen. 3D video watching will be done by either using glasses on the tablet's screen, or by streaming the signal via HDMI 1.4 to a compatible 3D TV or monitor (again, for use with glasses). When it comes to software, LG has chosen to stick with stock Android 3.0 Honeycomb. The LG Optimus Pad is an Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" tablet with an 8.9" display and 3D capable dual 5 megapixel cameras on the back. A bit smaller than the ipad,
the LG Optimus Pad's display has a higher resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels. Inside is a dual 1GHz Tegra 2 processor coupled with 1GB of RAM, which should cope with just about anything you'll want to run. Running the new Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" operating system this should be a significantly better user experience than the first generation Android devices.
The dual 5 megapixel cameras on the back of the Optimus Pad are designed to take 3D video clips, although unlike the optimus lg the Optimus Pad has a standard 2D display.
