LG Optimus Pad to Run Honeycomb on a Dual Core Tegra 2

What’s an upcoming Android tablet without NVIDIA’s dual-core Tegra 2 chip inside? Not a whole lot, based on recent revelations that nearly all of the major upcoming slates will leverage the new mobile CPU. But you won’t have to worry about LG’s Android tablet, which was quasi-announced and then delayed in waiting for a more refined version of Android for tablets.

That version is said to be Honeycomb, and the same source giving details on the Tegra 2 has stated the the new tablet will indeed carry that iteration of Android. An 8.9-inch screen straddles the line between Galaxy Tab and iPad.

Word is this thing is coming early 2011, which is when we should see a whole army of Tegra 2 Android tablets marching towards shelves. Expect a lot more info come CES.

  1. LG never made good long lasting products.. I’ve had 4 LG chocolates, 5 LG ENVs, 3 LG Voyagers, And 4 LG ENV touches! They came out to be the top of the line phones when released.. but since the Droid came out.. F*ckk LG for their crappy phones and hello Motorola. :)

    I feel this tablets gonna be a fail.

  2. Honeycomb…! Tegra2…! Bow down. LG the first to use Trega 2? We’ll see.

  3. jmax, moto is using tegra 2 too…

  4. Isn’t honeycomb supposed to come out late next year?

  5. I’m down with Moto. They make better products than LG. But the question is who will be the first with the Tegra 2? I’m stoked for dual-core.

    first half of next year almost assuredly…and if they are rushing it for it for tablets, I could see them pushing it out some time in Q1. Donut and Eclair were released less than 2 months apart…so it can happen.

    LG used to make awesome flip phones…but now I haven’t seen anything that impressed me from them in a long time.

  7. HTC > Moto + LG combined

  8. I think LG has it in them. I’ve always been impressed with them hardward-wise (IMO they produced the best hardware keyboard in their ENV/Voyager lines). But software’s always lacked a little. I’d be very interested to see what this tablet could bring to the table – don’t disappoint me, LG!

    I still have my LG Chocolate and LG Voyager. The Chocolate still works and I still think its kinda a cool phone but the OS sucks.
    The Voyager is missing a lot of the chrome crap but other then that works decently, screen sometimes doesn’t respond well with screen protector. If it didn’t have a full qwerty id probably would of switch back to the Chocolate.
    Had them both for 2 years active now their just laying around sense.
    But right now I’m loving my Dx :D

  10. LG ALL THE WAY! i had only lg phones and they were all great(at least hardware wise)! dont stop!

  11. every piece of hardware i’ve owned from samsung has been crap tv’s and phones. HTC hero recently crapped out on me and I’m not yet sold on Sprint’s 4g network. Got a 50′ LG HDTV, 22′ LG LCD monitor, and now a LG Optimus S all smooth. “They go thru bone like butter” (bricktop reference) I’m looking to get a pad of some sort and unless LG wanes sometime in the future I’ll be picking up one of their tablet devices.

  12. Clearly you fail….
