Follow the link above and win amazing new LG G-slate     Rejoice, for the age of the tablet is upon us. If the competition heating up this spring is any indication, we really are transcending the PC, and the battleground is wide open. The iPad may be the reigning dragonlord, but the upstarts are amassing, and plotting their revolts.
Chief among them is Google's Android Honeycomb tablet OS, now officially a platform, with not one but soon half a dozen competing products on the market. LG, partnering in the U.S. with T-Mobile, is second to the Honeycomb space with the reasonably slim, sturdily built wide-screen G-Slate. It'll hit stores on April 20 — this Wednesday. The question is, would you buy it?
As you can see in the video review above, it's a well-built, good looking product with a lot of fun to offer up. But truth be told, the teeter-totter of pros and cons tends to lean towards the con side:
What's good about it
Game and 3-D modeling graphics smooth, jitter-free
8.9-inch cinema-style wide screen ideal for movie watching
Good reception ... if you live in strong T-Mobile market
3-D cameras could lead to interesting development
T-Mobile pricing is competitive — for existing customers
Free 3-D glasses!
What's disappointing
Not enough differentiating 3-D apps and content
Wide screen is awkward for reading e-books
DVDs ripped in industry-standard video format looked bad
Battery life and standby time not on par with iPad 2
Still heavier and thicker than iPad 2
T-Mobile 4G never going to outperform Verizon 4G
Android doesn't have enough made-for-tablet apps yet
