LG just announced the launch of its first tablet, the Optimus Pad LTE. This is their first LTE tablet and although it’s heading to South Korea first.

The LG Optimus Pad LTE tablet will be sporting an 8.9 inch IPS True HD display with a resolution of 1280×768, dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, rear and front-facing camera at 8MP and 2MP, respectively; HDMI out, DLNA support, a 6800mAh battery, and more. It will weigh out at 497g and at its thickest point it’s only 9.34mm.

Two emphasized features with this new LG Optimus Tab LTE tablet is the LTE network support and the amount of expandable memory. LG also claims that the Optimus Pad LTE is the world’s first tablet with support for microSD cards up to 32 GB in size.

Optimus Tab will run on Android 3.2 Honeycomb — no word on when the latest Pad hopes to grab a bite of Ice Cream Sandwich, but we are guessing it can be upgraded later this spring. There’s no word on a price point or a clear launch date.
