It is Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona. Some of the biggest players have revealed their prototypes and launches of their upcoming Android tablets. LG is making quite a splash with their Optimus Pad offering. Since we are not there ourselves, the least we could do is bring you the new offers that are there. You can key us in on what we are missing by replying.

There was no shortage of Nvidia Tegra 2 units running or preparing to run Android 3.0 Honeycomb. There was, however, the new Huawei S7 Slim launching with Android 2.2 at around $300USD that is worthy of note. It also will come with wifi, 3G, and a capacitive touchscreen. We have been discussing it for a while in our Huawei tablet forums.
