It's also got a 4-inch NOVA screen for viewing in direct sunlight, too, and a 2MP forward-facing camera."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/adt/auto/1294365059.usr309.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></p><p>Up until now I haven't seen any high end or otherwise very exciting Android phones from LG. It looks like they've stepped up to the plate with this thin phone that will be upgradable to Honeycomb. Besides being very bright the NOVA display is to have low power consumption, true blacks, and pure whites. I'm not sure if this is a new form of OLED but I'm guessing it may be since I don't think it's possible for LCD to do true black. <a href="http://www.talkandroid.com/25628-t-mobile-announces-the-4g-android-3-0-powered-lg-g-slate-releases-teaser-video/?utm_source=feedburner-ta&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums+(Android+News,+Rumours,+and+Updates)" target="_blank">T-Mobile has also announced</a> a very nice looking Android tablet from LG called the G-Slate. It will be the first Honeycomb powered 4G tablet on T-Mobile. I love all the Android competition and innovation going on! One thing's for sure, choosing my next Android device will not be easy! Any thoughts on devices you've seen? How about a favorite phone or tablet?</p>
