As you know, Tablet war has already begun and it looks like India will also be a battle ground. Samsung Galaxy Tab has been here already for a while. Few months back, Apple iPad has also been launched. In addition, we also have many other low budget tablets like the Olive pad etc. Recently, at the launch of the Optimus 2X and Optimus Black in India, LG’s Vishal Chopra confirmed that the Optimus Pad is also coming to India and we can expect it in June.
If you were wondering about the price, LG hasnt said anything yet. Chopra says he will “be in a better position to say” about it “around last week of May”. Reports say it should be around Rs. 30,000 or may be a little below that. LG also admits they need cheaper tablets to really make a difference in a price sensitive market like ours.
The Optimus Pad was unveiled at MWC in February. It has an 8.9 inch display, runs Android 3.0 Honeycomb on a 1GHz dual core Tegra 2 and has dual 5MP cameras which can shoot full HD video in 2D or 720p in 3D. Yep, its the only tablet with 3D so far!! We will keep you posted once the price is out. Stay tuned.
