Toshiba Tablet Review

With its 8.9-inch display screen, the T-Mobile G-Slate is clearly smaller sized than both the 10.1-inch Xoom and the 9.8-inch iPad 2. The G-Slate is only slightly heavier than the iPad 2, but, like the Xoom, feels heftier, because of its unusual weight distribution.

The G-Slate has a thickness of .49 inch, a small bit about a third thicker than the iPad two′s .34-inch profile. In landscape mode, its screen is as broad as the iPad two′s, but is about an inch shorter in height. The G-Slate seems comfortable in our palms whilst typing, no matter whether in landscape or portrait mode, and as opposed to the iPad two with its clean-as-silk metal casing, the G-Slate is not as likely to slip from our grip.

On its bottom aspect, the tablet has ports for Mini-USB and Mini-HDMI-even though not Micro-HDMI as on the Xoom. On the top rated are a quantity rocker and microphone pinhole. Two speakers can be found on the proper side, with yet another on the left. Also on the left are the power/lock button, a headphone jack, and the electrical power adapter slot input.

Accessing the G-Slate's SIM card is a minor more involved than doing the identical on the Xoom. There's a concealed panel on the back again, requiring you to push down and slide it, revealing the SIM slot as nicely as the reset button underneath.

These days you can't have a tablet with no a constructed-in camera, typically two. The G-Slate attempts to one particular-up the opposition by such as not only a front-struggling with two-megapixel camera, but also a five-megapixel 3D digital camera on the back again. Technically, this is a few cameras in all, though T-Cellular is not genuinely marketing and advertising it that way.

If you've observed images of the again of the G-Slate, you may have observed a slim silver plate across it. You might have also assumed this trendy-searching plate doubled as a kickstand. It doesn't its only purpose is to create a tiny design and style panache.

The G-Slate is the 1st Honeycomb tablet with out-of-the-box 4G help, thanks to the T-Mobile's network. The tablet also arrives with T-Mobile streaming Tv preinstalled as well as an on-need services referred to as T-Mobile Tv, EA's Require for Pace Shift Hd, Zinio Reader, and 3D camcorder and player software. Complete Flash help is delivered via the Get Flash application, which will install Flash on the device inside of seconds.

The G-Slate also supplies the common tablet attributes, these as Bluetooth two.one help for audio and peripheral support (which includes Bluetooth keyboards). The Wi-Fi antenna supports bands up to 802.11n. Embedded sensors for display brightness, accelerometer, and gyroscope are all involved

A 1GHz Nvidia Tegra two dual-core cellular processor and 32MB of inner flash memory round out the specs.
