The tablet PC segment might have got extremely interesting since the launch of the Apple iPad, but it is something that has not taken off since then. This is primarily due to the lack of new technology arriving into the segment, which is necessarily not the case with any other segment. If you consider the laptop segment, then you will be witnessing a new launch every single day that will be bringing something new to this segment. It is something that has not happened in the tablet PC segment, but it finally looks to be well and truly on after LG announced the launch of the LG Optimus Pad, which is a tablet PC that will be coming with 3-D playback functions.
The LG Optimus Pad is a 3-D tablet and it does not take long to realise that it will be a worthy contender to the Apple iPad. Even though it will be having a screen that is in between the 9.7 inch display of the Apple iPad and the 7 inch display of the competition, it is expected to be much more than just about size. You will be realising this phone at the start of the tablet PC and experience the 3-D effect. Even though the 3-D effect can be obtained only by using special 3-D glasses, it is something that will not worry too much given the latest technology that you are getting with this tablet PC. The 8.9 inch display of the LG Optimus Pad will be capable of handling a resolution of up to 1280 x 768 pixels. This is almost the resolution of the personal computers of today.
Hence, the LG Optimus Pad will be able to bring the best of the 3-D content to you in the resolution that this going to be displayed in the personal computers as well. The LG Optimus Pad will not be having too much of the trouble when concerned with the playback of the 3-D content due to the usage of a processor that is highly powerful and addictive. The 1 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 AP20H Dual Core processor is used in the tablet PC and this process is known for being highly powerful as well as being efficient. The efficiency aspect of the tablet PC something that is disregarded often, but the LG Optimus Pad will be focusing on it as well. Due to the presence of this efficient processor, LG has been able to provide excellent battery life for the Tablet PC.
The LG Optimus Pad is expected to be coming with a HDMI port that is going to be useful for transferring the content. It will also be useful for displaying the various content of the tablet PC on a large screen without actually transferring them. The LG Optimus Pad is expected to be released in the United Kingdom by April or May. It is not known whether the Tablet PC will be coming at the price of the Apple iPad in order to provide the competition.
