T-Mobile G-Slate 4G Android Tablet (LG)
Although branded as a T mobile tablet, this is actually made by LG (Optimus Pad) who have
always been known to try and produce good value electronics against the industry leaders. That
said one would have expected this tablet, as an LG product, to be somewhat lower priced than it
is. The unique selling point of this particular tablet is its 4G connectivity, a feature not
unsurprising in a mobile telephone company branded product. The G in G slate is Google, and
there is a distinct social media, web browsing at high-speed angle with this tablet. It is certainly
less an E reader more a "nearly laptop" as a product.
Features
This is a slightly smaller tablet at 8.9 inches, and it weighs around 23 ounces, or 1.7 pounds, so it
is almost as light as the new ipad2. It has 32MB of internal memory and is powered by the
NVIDIA Tegra2 dual-core processor. It runs on Honeycomb 3.0 the Android operating system,
so your apps will be coming from Android. The other, different feature about the T mobile tablet
is its 3D capability. With the included 3D glasses, you can watch 3D videos and movies, and
capture video images with the 3D video camera. It's forward facing camera is 2 mega pixel, the
rear facing camera 5 MP and you can record video in HD or 3D. The G-Slate has hotspot
capability so that you can share the web access with several people at once and it allows for
shared connection either through tethering on a wired connection or wireless Wi-Fi with up to 5
devices sharing.
Usability
The HD screen has multi-touch capability that can handle several apps open at once, lets you
video conference, play games and watch HD movies. If you like your news, T Mobile has a news
channel app called T Mobile TV which is built into the G-Slate. Other apps available are GPS
Navigator, NOVA, Qik, Telenav, Tegra Zone, Wi-Fi Calling, and Zinio Reader with more being
added daily. For the gamer, the inclusion of NVIDIA's T250 graphics will enhance their gaming
experience and improve the HD enjoyment, plus an HDMI output is there for connection to
HDMI-enabled HD TV's. The T-Mobile 4 G network allows for 3 times faster upload and
download speeds; Bluetooth version 2.1 plus EDR (Enhanced data rate) and Wi-Fi connectivity
handle the web browsing and you can upgrade firmware over the air as the G Slate is FOTA
enabled. The G Slate has fast download speeds and includes all the Google applications so is
great for Google and T-Mobile fans. The Android system allows for several screens open at
once, and instant jumping from one to another, made faster by the 4G technology of the G slate.
The battery lasts around 8 to 10 hours and charges in an hour.
