LG today unveiled Optimus Pad at a press conference on opening day of Mobile World Congress 2011. LG Optimus Pad features a unique 8.9-inch display (1280 x 768) for one-handed portability and uncompromising viewability. It is powered by Google’s Android 3.0 platform and 1GHz dual core NVIDIA Tegra 2 mobile processor. LG Optimus is world’s first tablet with a 3d camera with Full HD 1080p support.

“With a flood of tablets hitting the market, we felt strongly that the LG Optimus Pad needed to set a new standard for what a tablet should be,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Mobile Communications Company. “We think the LG Optimus Pad achieves the right blend of portability and viewability with no performance compromises.”

The LG Optimus Pad will ship in March and no word on price yet.
