The G-Slate will be among the first tablets to feature 3D capabilities with built in support for 3D graphics. This will give customers an opportunity to capture and share their very own 3D videos and experience 3D HD content right there on the device with the available 3D glasses.

The rear-facing stereoscopic video recorder with 1080p for HD video capture and a 5 megapixel camera make up the backside of the device. The front of the G-Slate will see a two megapixel camera for video chats with friends and family. The G-Slate will support 720P HD on device video playback along with an HDMI output to show off 1080p content on both 3D and HD displays.

Powered by a dual core 1 GHZ Nvidia Tegra 2 processor the G-Slate is ready to handle anything you can throw at it. Combined with the strength of the T-Mobile 4G network, this baby is ready to take on the world!

Oh, one more thing…the G-Slate also has 32GB’s of onboard memory so you have plenty of storage space for capturing 3D video!
