Mr. & Mrs. [Lenovo](http://www.engadget.com/tag/lenovo/) packed young [ThinkPad Tablet](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/29/thinkpad-tablet-review/) on its big trip to [Washington](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/22/fccs-genachowski-seeks-hearing-on-atandt-merger/), smiling all the while. When it arrived, it was dragged into the [FCC's](http://www.engadget.com/tag/fcc/) underground bunker and subjected to horrifying experiments by our boys in blue lab coats. Turns out they were looking to see what kind of gear it was packing. They stumbled upon a [Qualcomm Gobi 3000](http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/14/qualcomm-ships-dual-mode-gobi3000-wwan-chip-intros-lte-hspa/), which will happily connect to [AT&T](http://www.engadget.com/tag/att/), [Verizon](http://www.engadget.com/tag/verizon/), [Sprint](http://www.engadget.com/tag/sprint/) and [T-Mobile's](http://www.engadget.com/tag/t-mobile/) 3G internet (nothing [faster](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/14/atandt-expanding-lte-to-15-markets-on-november-20th/), though). To show there were no hard feelings, the FCC approved the Tablet and handed it a carton of juice before sending it on its way.
