LG Optimus Pad Reviews

CNET
"The LG Optimus Pad looks set to bring some great hardware to the tablet table, and with a lightweight design and Android 3.0 Honeycomb on board, we're excited to see what this tablet can do."
T3
"The LG Optimus Pad is here and ready to take on the bad boys. And with its dual 5-megapixel 3D camera, it could very well jump ahead of the pack."
Pocket Lint
"What is the right size for a tablet? 9.7-inches? What about 7-inches, or maybe 8.9-inches? If you’re struggling to answer that question, don’t worry, tablet makers are too, and so we have the latest challenger to Honeycomb tablet market: the LG Optimus Pad."
Tech Radar
"The world's first tablet to come armed with a 3D camera."
Mobile Syrup
"And for the extra $200, LG has a few more tricks up its sleeve. Dive in to take a look!"
PCWorld
"LG has attempted to distinguish the Optimus Pad from the wealth of 7in and 10in Android tablets by using a 8.9in touchscreen display. It is the world's first tablet with a built-in 3D camera."
Phone Arena
"Sure, the Optimus Pad, known as the T-Mobile G-Slate in the States, has a pretty impressive 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 chip running under the hood, but nowadays nearly every tablet has that horsepower."
GSMArena
"Tablets are killing netbooks, pundits say, and all gadget makers are jumping on the bandwagon. LG, it seemed, were in no particular hurry but now that their Optimus Pad is here, it shows they mean business."
