It was no surprise to see Google finally confirm their 4G G-Slate tab device at the CES, though for me the unexpected was that it would come from LG and that their new version of Android would be designed chiefly for tablets in mind.

The T-Mobile G-Slate will be among the first 4G tablets to fully benefit from the tablet-optimized Android 3.0 platform, which was designed from the ground up for devices with larger screen sizes and addresses the unique aspects of tablet use cases and form factors. The Honeycomb user experience improves on Android favorites such as widgets, multi-tasking, browsing, notifications and customization. It will also feature the latest Google Mobile innovations including Google Maps™ 5.0 with 3D interaction, collection of more than 3 million eBooks and Google Talk™ with video and voice chat.

As you will see in the official videos below, latest Android 3.0 comes with fluid home screens, improved app switching, browser tabs, video chat, dynamic app shortcuts and new versions of Google's Android applications will take advantage of the bigger screen.

At the moment, the LG G-Slate's spec is still very much so undisclosed but no doubt, the device will have an HSPA+ radio (making it 4G according to T-Mobile's standards), definitely front facing camera for video calling with Google Talk and almost 99% a decent camera round the backend for photos.
