LG Optimus Pad priced at €999 in Germany By Tim Stevens posted Feb 14th 2011 at 7:26AM Yikes. We just finished getting our fingerprints all over LG's Optimus Pad (aka the G-Slate), and now we're thinking we should have been wearing white gloves while doing so. The tablet is coming in March to the US, but we didn't know a price. Now we do -- in Germany, at least, and get ready to wince: €999. That's about $1,350 if you do a straight conversion, out-classing even the Xoom's eye-wateringly high $1,199 pre-order price, which we're still holding out hope is a misprint. Maybe the golden goo in Honeycomb really is gold. Update: Roland wrote in to remind us that German prices include a 19 percent VAT, which would drop this price down to a mere $1,075 if you're into the conversion game. Well within pocket change territory. engadget.com Looks like Android tablets, apart from probably Samsung, although even they won't have the advantage of using their own chip, won't be able to come anywhere close to even the high end iPad 2 price. <\i>
