2011-02-14
Hey look it's me in 3d looking looking very shallowly there actually I think I need to lay off the pastries the rest of my time here in Spain this is all who did that this is the t-mobile G slate this is the LG tablet computer and as you can tell it's 3d capable you can't see the 3d now over the internet video that I shot because I shot this video on a non 3d camcorder but if I had shot it with the slate which I did this clip you're watching that is 3d so you can watch it with glasses on the screen or you can send the video out via HDMI to a 3d capable monitor an HD TV set what have you you can also upload to YouTube 3d LG announced a partnership with YouTube where you can send video from their 3d devices to YouTube 3d and then you can also watch YouTube 3d content on the device so this is very similar to the Optimus Pad which was also introduced this morning at LG's press conference but this is the t-mobile branded version coming to the US shown here right now in the multi media dock which has an HDMI out USB for tethering you can set it up as a clock thanks to the disembodied hand here flying in and doing all the things for me this actually is great so you can see it's got its Android through the honeycomb it's pretty much stopped right now it's got a 3d camcorder app the 3d player app which are LDS app apps of course for the 3d functionality and then you can see there's a t-mobile start up app and there may be some more see mobile my customizations but apps are other add-ons before the device launches no information yet on pricing or availability in the US but it is coming but basically it's stock Android now what you get here is you get an 8.9 inch display it's 1280 by 768 and the form factor as LG talked about and I talked about in my write-up from the press conference the form factors design for 2 handed and one and use and so the device actually works quite well I found and using it one hand and so far I'm able to two thumb type on it easier than I can on some of the other tablets that I've used that are a little bit wider and then the long aspect ratio is actually nice for reading things there's the camera app it's got a front-facing 2-megapixel camera and then if we flip it around Venna on the backside we've got the stereoscopic set up dual five megapixel cameras LED flash it'll record and playback 1080p video in 2d and then for 3d you can get 720p video and you can see it's got the t-mobile branding on it as well as the width Google branding and the LG brand nice little kind of kind of copper color here kind of copper Brown with the silver accent looks pretty nice and you know the device is nice it's actually pretty lightweight for the size it's 8.9 inches so not quite as unwieldy as the 10-inch devices like bigger than the seven-inch devices that LG was happy to point out in their press conference this morning but they didn't name names who those devices are because you know you just want to know that this one but it is it feels good and it's easy to hold in one hand you've got your headphone jack you've got HDMI out everything you need right there and on t-mobile it will be 4G HSPA+ compatible so you can do your video conferencing with a front-facing app all that kind of stuff you've got your e-reader app nice animations go in there we can read a little Alice in Wonderland and the widgets and all the goodies that people are excited about with honeycomb so there you go again it's a first look at the G slate the t-mobile G slate by LG it is a 9 inch tablet computer with 4G connectivity 1080p video capture and playback and 3G capabilities if you use the glasses before if you send your video out to another monitor V HDMI or you know up to the web used to 3d yeah it probably is pretty nice looks good from the LG booth and what World Congress 2011 in Barcelona I would turn the camera to myself now but you already saw that hitting his 3d image of me not that the 3d was bad it was just me looking at all it really I got to hit the gym I'm Noah from TechnoBuffalo much much more on all the LG products are the other projects at the show on TechnoBuffalo com
