AT&T will begin selling the LG G Pad X 10.1 tablet Friday online with a DirecTV app pre-installed, it said Monday. Retail store sales begin Sept. 11, it said. Customers have several payment options including a bronze G Pad X for $17.50 over 20 months with an installment plan. AT&T customers can add the G Pad X to an existing Mobile Share Value Plan for $10 per month, or it can be purchased for $249 with a two-year agreement, AT&T said. The Dual Window split screen allows side-by-side viewing of two compatible apps, AT&T said, and users can pair an Android phone to the tablet to answer calls, receive and reply to texts and follow social network activity from a phone across the room.
