The first thing you might notice when looking at the new
LG tablet PCs is the easy to handle size. It's 8.9 inch screen keeps it comfortable in the hand without being cramped in the hand. This doesn't mean a lack of resolution however. It still displays in HD definition and will even handle 3D.
It's back facing, stereoscopic cameras capture 3D footage with 5 megapixel clarity. That means you can use the miniHD port to put it up on your living room television without shame or regret. You will need glasses for the 3D effect, but it will beat you old camcorder and phone camera snippets hands down. You can also take stills of course, and there's even a flash for low light conditions.
If you're one to make video chats or vlogs there's also a 2 megapixel webcam on the front. It's smartly placed in the corner in order to avoid strange angle arrangements when the device is landscape oriented.
Both portrait and landscape orientations receive the full stereo audio experience as well. The speakers are arranged in a set of three to ensure that there are left and right channels represented at all times. This kind of design attention is to be commended.
For the large part of the world using Android devices already the operating system will be familiar. This tablet runs on Android Honeycomb 3.0, and that means simple integration with all of your other Google powered technology, which is likely quite extensive. It also means all of your favorite apps will run just fine. They haven't all been adjusted for the larger screen size yet, but this problem will slowly fade as the app market begins to consider this type of device more thoroughly. You will also receive a healthy suite of apps already loaded with your purchase.
The screen is clearer than it's ten inch rivals, and the processing power is second to none with a speedy dual-core processor that makes multitasking quick and responsive. The interface, as well as the hardware, is designed for easy management of multiple apps and tasks. Pausing a movie or game to check email should be quick and easy.
This extra clarity, impressive speaker placement and powerful processor add up to a wonderful media viewing experience whether your streaming HD over the web or playing a digital copy from your hard drive. There's plenty of internal memory for the average media user, and for the real media fiends there's plenty of connectivity options to plug you into your full database at home.
The internet is never far away either. The tablet is 4G capable as well as being able to connect to wi-fi networks. This means the internet fast, and available. If you sign up for the data plan on offer you can even get a hefty discount.
The new LG tablet brings performance to a handy size and some bells and whistles to boot. You'll find it reliable, convenient and simple to use, especially if you're already a member of the Android army.
