Upcoming tablets to look out for

2011 is almost coming to an end, but there's still a whole bunch of gadgets that haven't hit the shelves yet. Today, we'll take a closer look at some of the upcoming Android tablets that we hope to see before the world, we mean year ends.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 or Tab 730
After the success of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or 750 as it's known in India, the next big thing or should we say smaller thing, is the Tab 8.9 or the 730. While both tablets were announced at the same time, we still haven't seen the smaller sibling.

A good portable option

The great thing about the Tab 730 is that it's almost identical to the 750 but it's smaller, thus making it a lot more portable. The  tablet is powered by a 1GHz Tegra 2 processor and runs Samsung's very own TouchWiz UX interface. It also has full HSDPA and HSUPA 3G support. The following are some of the highlights of the tablet:

 

  • 8.9-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen with a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution
  • 3G, EDGE/GPRS, Wi-Fi with DLNA support and hot spot creativity
  • GPS with A-GPS support
  • Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP and USB 2.0
  • 3.1 megapixel autofocus camera with an LED flash that can capture 720p videos
  • 2MP secondary camera
  • 3.5mm earphone socket

LG Optimus Pad
LG is simply following the natural state technology evolution and has taken their mobile handset 3D technology to the tablet. Their LG Optimus Pad is designed for users looking for a larger mobile 3D experience over and above a mobile handset.

With a 1GHz Dual-Core processor and Android Honeycomb running things, the Optimus Pad should prove to be quite a contender in the tablet race. LG has also made sure that your regular media capabilities are unhindered by providing DivX and XviD codecs with the device so reading standard AVI files on the go shouldn’t be an issue.
