AT&T Offers Tablet Goodness at Jetstream Speeds

"Exclusive to AT&T customers, HTC Jetstream is the company’s first 4G LTE/HSPA+ tablet. It runs the Android™ 3.1 (Honeycomb) operating system and represents the first iteration of the HTC Sense™ user experience on Honeycomb. HTC Jetstream boasts a large 10.1” WXGA high-resolution display for an immersive entertainment experience, third-generation Snapdragon 1.5 GHz dual core processor for fast multi-tasking and instant screen refresh."

In the US and Canada, vendor lock-in used to be quite common, and is still prevalent in many ways. Do people remember when the iPhone was restricted to just AT&T? Well, the HTC Jetstream is the latest in AT&T exclusives, though I suspect it will not have quite a draw as the coveted iPhone. Still, showcasing an LTE network is pretty enough as it is. I wonder if there is much use for it yet, through a tablet. When I think tablet, the highspeed demands I think of are things like streaming videos or watching a large slideshow of pictures from my friend who recently went on vacation that he just had to share with me because it truly was a wonderful trip that everyone should know about. Short of HD streams, which would blow one's wireless data cap in short order, what is the use again?

HTC Puccini, er, Jetstream, er, Skyrocket Tablet in the Pipeline

"The HTC Puccini tablet now has an official name attached to it – the HTC Jetstream, as discovered in a new screenshot of the settings menu showing the name of the tablet, and another screenshot showing the AT&T logo confirming the carrier (once again). That name is expected to be unique to AT&T where it’ll clearly launch with 4G LTE given all we’ve seen in the past. It’s expected to have a different name internationally, which is not known yet but one possible candidate is the “HTC Skyrocket”."

Here's some speculation about an AT&T 4G LTE tablet arriving in North America on or about September 1, 2011. Configured with a 10.1-inch 1280x800 screen, optional Pen Scribe input, a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor (1.2 GHz or 1.5GHz), an 8MP rear-facing camera, and, of course, the 4G LTE radio, it appears to be similar to many other tablets out there. No details on price were posted. Why do carriers feel that they have to rename (almost) every product? Wouldn't Puccini work here? Just wondering.
