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."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/lpt/auto/1315403595.usr20447.jpg" style="border: 0px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>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?</p>
