AT&T Will Sell the "G Pad" v7.0 for 99 Cents w/ Some Catches

We Can't Say for Sure How Great a Tablet the New "LG G Pad" v7.0 is -- we Haven't Had the Chance to Try it Out Yet. But, if you were Already Planning on Buying the G3 Smartphone on AT&T, you Might Consider Picking Up the Tablet too: Starting on Friday, Ma Bell will Throw in the Tablet for just 99 Cents Extra. Now, before you Get Too Excited, there are of Course a Couple Catches. Maybe Some Dealbreaking Ones. To Qualify for that Insane 99-Cent Price, you'll Have to Purchase either the G3, G Flex or Last-Generation G2 and you'll Need to Either Sign a New 2-Year Service Agreement or Renew your Contract through AT&T's "Next" Early Upgrade Plan.


Also, the Tablet Needs to be On-Contract too. Ouch. If Perchance you Don't Want One of those Handsets, you Can also Get the Tablet for $150 with a 2-Year Contract, or for $12.50 a Month for 20 Months, with No Money Down Up Front. You Could Even Buy it Contract-Free for $250 but, at that Point, we'd Encourage you to Take a Closer Look at the Specs. For $250, you Get an Android KitKat Tablet with a 1,280 x 800 Screen, 5-Megapixel Camera and Quad-Core Processor. That's Not Bad, per se but, for the Same Price or Less you Can Find Similar Alternatives, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0; that's Going for $170 (Down from $200), with Mostly the Same Specs, Save for a Lower-Res Camera. That's Not to Say you Shouldn't Buy the "G Pad" -- just that you Should do your Homework First.
