AT&T will sell the G Pad 7.0 for 99 cents -- with a couple catches
We can't say for sure how great a tablet the new LG G Pad 7.0 is -- we haven't had the chance to try it out yet. But if you were already planning on buying the G3 smartphone on AT&T, you might consider picking up the tablet too: Starting on Friday, Ma Bell will throw in the tablet for just 99 cents extra. Now, before you get too excited, there are of course a couple catches. Maybe some dealbreaking ones. To qualify for that insane 99-cent price, you'll have to purchase either the G3, G Flex or last-generation G2, and you'll need to either sign a new two-year service agreement or renew your contract through AT&T's "Next" early upgrade plan. Also, the tablet needs to be on-contract too. Ouch.
LG admits that one size doesn't fit all with three new G Pad tablets
LG hasn't quite pulled a Samsung with its new G Pad tablet family, but it's coming close by offering the slate in three different sizes: 7-, 8-, and 10.1-inch. We liked the original 8.3-inch G Pad tablet just fine, but found it was a little too expensive compared to others in the in the 7- to 8-inch size range. Pricing details aren't available yet so we don't know if the company has addressed that angle, but the new tablets will include all of LG's latest software tweaks like Knock Code unlocking, and QPair Bluetooth syncing of notifications with an Android smartphone. Information on availability is also TBA, but the public's first chance to put their greasy palms on these screens will come at the MedPl 2014 trade show this week in Monaco -- we're sure you were already on your way there.
