LG Optimus Pad: first look

Another day, another Android Tablet PC dual core Honeycomb. LG unveiled the Latest Android-based Tablet to hit the Mobile World Congress 2011, LG Optimus Pad. The Optimus Pad is unique from other tablets, however, as has a 8.9 inch display, rather than a 10-incher as the Motorola Xoom and the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tab.

I've never been a big fan of tablets simply because the ones I've used have felt a little awkward. The Galaxy 7 inches is too small for my taste while managing iPad 10.1-inch always makes me feel a little nervous, as if you could drop it. LG has hit a sweet spot with 8.9 inch: Optimus is a convenient size and easy to handle.

Another standout feature is the ability to record video in 3D. The Optimus Pad has a dual-lens 3D camera, as well as an HDMI port, so you can view 3D content on the TV 3D--that is, if you are bringing in pasta and has a 3D TV. I couldn't test this feature on the show floor, unfortunately, as LG have no one linked to a 3D TV. The Optimus Pad also provides Full HD 1080p decoding so that you can transfer high-quality video from your Pad to the TV without any loss of image quality.

So what tablet Honeycomb appeals to you more: Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy card 10.1 or LG Optimus Pad? Capture 3D video in front of the pack put LG? Sound off in the comments below.
