Mobile internet is already a popular service which mobile phones are providing to their users. Previously users were only capable to access internet from their mobile phone through GPRS or by plugging their mobile phones with their laptops or personal computers and using the mobile internet on their laptops and computers. But the things have changed now; mobile phones with Wi-Fi feature are now a ruler of mobile internet. Wi-Fi technology is already been acknowledged as one of the fastest way to access internet which is already been embraced by common users and now with the inception of mobile phones with Wi-Fi things are getting even bigger and better.
Wifi mobile phones are not only popular among businessmen who are using their office or home wifi internet to access internet on their mobile phone but also among youngsters who are saving lots of money through using wifi internet of their colleges and hostels over their phone. The Wi-Fi technology as we known today was invented by IEEE in 1997.
In its starting age, wifi technology as only used in big corporate offices and government houses because of the cost and the logistics required however as the days passed by the logistics and costs reduces and it takes no time for Wi-Fi to reach into the hands of common people.
These days almost all of the smart phones are carrying wifi features with them and it is not unusual to see people accessing wifi internet of a coffee shop while they are sitting and having there day warmer. There was a time when people hardly find any social place which has wifi internet connectivity and in today's time people hardly find any place which is not connected with wifi internet.
The connectivity and the speed of wifi is completely based on the mobile phones models. Just like camera and GPRS, wifi phones also come with various versions, the latest the version is the more enhanced will be the speed.
Seeing the popularity of wifi mobile phones, there is been a surge in demand and supply of wifi mobile phones which is good as people have more options to choose however it also come with side effects for those people who are not able to judge properly. Thus to help these types of users, mobile phones comparison websites introduced a separate section which displays and compare various wifi mobile phones on various criterias.
With its 8.9-inch screen, the T-Mobile G-Slate is noticeably smaller than both the 10.1-inch Xoom and the 9.8-inch iPad 2. The G-Slate is only slightly heavier than the iPad 2, but, like the Xoom, feels heftier, due to its odd weight distribution.
The G-Slate has a thickness of 0.49 inch, a little over one-third thicker than the iPad 2′s 0.34-inch profile.
In landscape mode, its screen is as wide as the iPad 2′s, but is about an inch shorter in height. The G-Slate feels comfortable in our hands while typing, whether in landscape or portrait mode, and unlike the iPad 2 with its smooth-as-silk metal casing, the G-Slate isn't as likely to slip from our grip.
On its bottom side, the tablet has ports for Mini-USB and Mini-HDMI although not Micro-HDMI as on the Xoom.
On the top are a volume rocker and microphone pinhole. Two speakers can be found on the right side, with another on the left. Also on the left are the power/lock button, a headphone jack, and the power adapter slot input.
Accessing the G-Slate's SIM card is a little more involved than doing the same on the Xoom. There's a hidden panel on the back, requiring you to push down and slide it, revealing the SIM slot as well as the reset button underneath.
These days you can't have a tablet without a built-in camera, usually two. The G-Slate attempts to one-up the competition by including not only a front-facing 2-megapixel camera, but also a 5-megapixel 3D camera on the back. Technically, this is three cameras in all, although T-Mobile isn't really marketing it that way.
If you've seen pics of the back of the G-Slate, you may have noticed a narrow silver plate across it.
You may have also assumed this stylish-looking plate doubled as a kickstand. It doesn't; its only function is to add a little design panache.
The G-Slate is the first Honeycomb tablet with out-of-the-box 4G support, courtesy of T-Mobile's network. The tablet also comes with T-Mobile streaming TV preinstalled as well as an on-demand service called T-Mobile TV, EA's Need for Speed Shift HD, Zinio Reader, and 3D camcorder and player software.
Full Flash support is delivered via the Get Flash application, which will install Flash on the device within seconds.
The G-Slate also provides the usual tablet features, such as Bluetooth 2.1 support for audio and peripheral support (including Bluetooth keyboards). The Wi-Fi antenna supports bands up to 802.11n. Embedded sensors for screen brightness, accelerometer, and gyroscope are all included
A 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core mobile processor and 32MB of internal flash memory round out the specs.
The good: With 4G support, a wide-angle IPS screen, out-of-the-box streaming TV features, and Honeycomb support, the G-Slate is currently the best option for Android tablet shoppers.
The bad: Unless you have a thing for two-year contracts, the G-Slate is pretty expensive. 3D implementation is disappointing, and 4G drains the battery something quick.
