LG is finally getting serious about the Android tablet market. They just officially revealed their new lineup of G Pad tablets in three different flavors. We have the G Pad 7.0, 8.0, and 10.1. They didn't really share much in regards to the specs and features of these devices. Instead it's mostly marketing speak and hyperbole. Here's the full presser to see what we mean,

LG EXPANDS TABLET OPTIONS WITH NEW G PAD SERIES MODELS

Three New Tablets Satisfy Consumer Demand for More Choices to Fit Their Lifestyles

SEOUL, May 12, 2014 ― LG Electronics (LG) is adding three new tablets to its G Pad series to offer more options for tablet users. The new G Pad devices ― G Pad 7.0, G Pad 8.0 and G Pad 10.1 ― will be unveiled at the MedPI 2014, one of the biggest IT/Tech trade show in Europe, taking place in Monaco from May 13-16. LGs extended tablet portfolio, which also includes the well-received G Pad 8.3, will significantly expand LGs footprint in the tablet market.

Customers tell us that they want a wider range of devices that offer sizable screens without compromising portability, said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. Unlike smartphones, tablets are not one size fits all. So we designed the G Pad Series for a diverse target audience, some who prioritize portability while others want the best multimedia experience possible. G Pad delivers on all counts.

Highlights of LGs new G Pad Series tablets are:

● G Pad 7.0: Designed to be held in one hand, LGs smallest tablet is an on-the-go entertainment hub that delivers both portability and power.
● G Pad 8.0: With its 8-inch display, LGs mid-sized tablet offers an immersive multimedia experience and smooth multitasking.
● G Pad 10.1: With the largest display and battery, LGs 10.1-inch tablet provides endless hours of entertainment and fun.

The latest G Pad tablets will also include LGs proprietary UX features such as QPair 2.0 and Knock CodeTM. With an updated version of QPair, which was first introduced on G Pad 8.3, users can effortlessly connect to their Android-powered smartphones via Bluetooth to receive notifications of calls and messages and now be able to respond directly from the G Pad. Whats more, Knock Code enables users to power on and unlock their LG smartphones in one easy step by entering a personalized knock pattern on the smartphones display. Knock Code offers convenience and greater security as the knock pattern can be entered anywhere on the screen in any size ― with the display on or off ― using a personalized sequence of two to eight taps for more than 80,000 possible combinations.

Additional details of LGs new G Pad tablets including specifications and availability will be announced locally in the weeks ahead.

I wonder if any of these tabs will have an HDMI Output, this time around.
