Rumor: Lenovo to Introduce Android 3.0 Tablet This Summer

5

We’ve long been fans of Lenovo’s Android-based offerings, but couldn’t do more than gape at the few products they’ve brought out because they only launched them in limited regions (the United States not being one of them, of course). It seems that’s because they wanted to bring a more fresh product to store shelves.

This is my next claims to have gathered evidence of a new ThinkPad-branded Lenovo tablet that’ll run Android 3.0 and should be on store shelves this summer starting at $500. It has all the usual specs (plus a couple of extras like a digitizer and pen) you’d expect from a Honeycomb tablet, but I don’t want to get too excited about them due to several contradictions.

For instance, one slide says to expect the usual 1280×800 IPS display that you see on most tablets, while another says the tablet will have a 1080p display. Furthermore, a stamp at the bottom of a few of these documents say they were drafted in 2009 – it’s now 2011.

And Honeycomb wasn’t official until 2011. We’re sure Google wasn’t working on it in 2009, and even in the off chance that they were we’d have a hard time believing that Lenovo got the heads up that early. I obviously sound skeptical, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want to see it – I just don’t think we should hold our breath for the time being. Let’s see if any more comes of this.

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

  1. Lenovo better watch out. You can’t put a bezel on a phone or tablet without feeling the wrath of Apple.

    1. lol nah, look at the picture. edges look sharp on at least one corner to me. Apple only sues for ROUNDED bezel edges.

  2. This is one of the competitors for my tablet of choice. I love Lenovo dearly and swear by the products they make. It’s between them, the Archos Gen 9, Asus Eee Pad Transformer, and whatever 10-incher HTC eventually puts out. Korean (Samsung) and US (Moto) manufacturers don’t have jack on them. Apparently, Taiwan is the new king of mobile electronics.

  3. In other news, my step-brother is also releasing an Android 3.0 tablet this summer.

  4. We’re sure Google wasn’t working on it in 2009, and even in the off chance that they were we’d have a hard time believing that Lenovo got the heads up that early. – http://www.wholesaleeshop.com.au/android-tablet-pc/9.7-touch-screen-tablet-pc/
