The folks over at BGR have received a tip or two suggesting that AT&T will be launching a new tablet next week at CES. The tablet, the Pantech Element, will be the first to rock some AT&T 4G LTE speeds not at a kidney selling price and comes in an 8 inch variety. The tablet will run the latest variation of Honeycomb and will be waterproof. Okay it’s not the take your tablet and take pictures with it in the ocean waterproof but more water resistant/splash proof provided you close all the port doors.

Besides the 8-inch display and the water resistance it boasts the following specs: 

  • 1.5 GHz dual-core processor
  • Android 3.2 Honeycomb
  • 16GB internal storage
  • 5 megapixel rear camera with 1080p video
  • 2 megapixel front facing camera with 720p video capture
Right now this tablet is slated to go on sale January 8th for $299.99 with a new 2-year agreement. It will be $449.99 off-contract should you just want the tablet. The tablet comes with a little bit of heft and may catch a few CES attendees’ eye. Hopefully when we are at CES we are able to get our hands on one and let you know how well it works. What about you readers out there, is this LTE tablet one you would consider buying? Let us know in the comment section below.
