Waterproof Pantech Element Google Android Tablet Available from AT&T

The Pantech Element “waterproof” Android tablet is now available from AT&T for $299.99 with a 2-year contract. Contract-free, it costs $449.99.

The tablet has the following tech specs:

  • 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor
  • 1024 x 768 pixel capacitive multitouch display
  • 1GB of RAM
  • 16GB of storage
  • 3G, WiFi, and Bluetooth
  • 5MP rear camera, a 2MP front-facing camera
  • Google Andorid 3.2 Honeycomb

It’s not so much as waterproof but more splash-proof as AT&T says the tablet is waterproof “against incidental exposure to water” which means no, you can’t use it to Tweet while under the water in your bathtub or to take pictures while you’re swimming with whalesharks.

Outside the water though, it will have access to AT7T’s 4G LTE or HSPA+ networks. The Pantech Element Google Android tablet measures 8.4″ x 6.1″ x 0.4″ and weighs a little more than a pound.
