T-Mobile joined forces with LG to offer the G-Slate (name could have been better though) tablet. The two companies have been very successful keeping this thing quiet as very little information is known about the tablet. What is known is that the G-Slate will be HSPA+-compatible, run Android 3.0 OS, and will be available in coming months with details arriving at a later date. You guys could have at least threw us a bone by offering the screen size at least. Oh well. Check out the official release below after the break.
