AT&T Offers Tablet Goodness at Jetstream Speeds

"Exclusive to AT&T customers, HTC Jetstream is the company’s first 4G LTE/HSPA+ tablet.  It runs the Android™ 3.1 (Honeycomb) operating system and represents the first iteration of the HTC Sense™ user experience on Honeycomb.  HTC Jetstream boasts a large 10.1” WXGA high-resolution display for an immersive entertainment experience, third-generation Snapdragon 1.5 GHz dual core processor for fast multi-tasking and instant screen refresh."

In the US and Canada, vendor lock-in used to be quite common, and is still prevalent in many ways.  Do people remember when the iPhone was restricted to just AT&T?  Well, the HTC Jetstream is the latest in AT&T exclusives, though I suspect it will not have quite a draw as the coveted iPhone.  Still, showcasing an LTE network is pretty enough as it is.  I wonder if there is much use for it yet, through a tablet.  When I think tablet, the highspeed demands I think of are things like streaming videos or watching a large slideshow of pictures from my friend who recently went on vacation that he just had to share with me because it truly was a wonderful trip that everyone should know about.  Short of HD streams, which would blow one's wireless data cap in short order, what is the use again?
