Dupa anuntul de ieri privind primul smartphone cu ecran 3D si capacitate de a filma in format 3D, LG a anuntat astazi si prima tableta cu aproximativ aceleasi caracteristici. LG G-Slate este numele noului produs si asemanator cu smartphone-ul va filma in format 3D si clipurile video inregistrate vor putea fi vizionate pe ecranul 3D al tabletei, insa numai cu ajutorul unor ochelari speciali. Probabil vorbim de tehnologii 3D asemanatoare implementate in ambele produse, diferenta fiind facuta de ecranul tabletei care nu este capabil sa afiseze imagini 3D fara necesitatea purtarii de ochelari.
Iata specificatiile produsului :
- 8.9-inch “3D-capable multitouch display” — with the aid of 3D glasses
- Android 3.0 Honeycomb
- Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor
- Rear-facing stereoscopic video recorder, records at 1080p
- 5MP camera with LED flash
- 720p playback on the tablet, 1080p via HDMI output
- 32GB of internal memory
- Internal gyroscope, accelerometer
- T-Mobile HSPA+ data, plus Wifi
Din punct de vedere hardware tableta se prezinta destul de ok, dar era de asteptat si imi place sa vad ca LG nu preia modelul celor de la Samsung si opteaza sa implementeze Android Honeycomb 3.0 inca de la lansarea tabletei. Exista desigur 2 camere in partea din spate deoarece asa functioneaza tehnologia de inregistrare video 3D implementata de LG in aparatele sale. Incepe sa devina interesante aceste produse ale LG, insa raman rezervat pana vad cum functioneaza in lumea reala.
