AT&T and HTC just announced the Jetstream, an Android 3.1 Honeycomb tablet with 4G LTE and HSPA+ capabilities. So far, so good. It has a 10.1″ display and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor to power the tablet, which also sounds pretty great. Additionally, the HTC Jetstream is capable of 1080p HD video recording and playback. Excellent. And if you really wanted it, the HTC Scribe tablet pen works with this thing, too. What’s the catch? It’s a jaw-dropping $699.99 with a new, two-year contract! Next.

But if you’re really interested, bless your poor soul, the details are down below.
