T-Mobile G-Slate to Ship With 3D Glasses; Tablet Priced at $529.99

T-Mobile Branded LG Optimus Pad Honeycomb Tablet With Stereoscopic Cameras Will Come With Free 3D Glasses for 3D Image Viewing

LG is coming out with its G-Slate tablet with 3D-enabled cameras. Good news to G-Slate buyers: the tablet will come shipped with free 3D glasses.

The T-Mobile branded G-Slate will feature two rear-facing cameras for stereoscopic picture-taking. The tablet itself doesn’t support autostereoscopic (or glasses-free) 3D viewing, though, but buyers won’t have to spend extra for 3D-glasses. Reports say that the tablet will ship with a free pair.

3D glasses will be useful for viewing images taken with the tablet’s two cameras in conjunction with each other as a stereoscopic system. The glasses will not be the more stylish transparent type, but rather the usual blue-and-red colored glasses, so it’s probably not something you’d want to wear out in public.

The G-Slate was earlier unofficially priced at $799, but T-Mobile has announced pricing at $529.99 with two-year contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate. The tablet is said to launch April 20.

Aside from 3D imaging capabilities, the T-Mobile G-Slate can play 1080p videos, and can connect via T-Mobile’s 4G HSPA+ network. The T-Mobile Slate is powered by a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor running Android Honeycomb, and will come with an 8.9-inch screen and 32GB of storage.

      “the tablet will come shipped with free 3D glasses” is not good news because the glasses are anaglyph (blue-red), the worse way to view 3D, IMHO. This is a throw-back to the fifties, and may well hurt the case for 3D tablets.
