Everyone seems to be jumping on the Honeycomb tablet bandwagon so why shouldn’t Lenovo? Plans for a Lenovo tablet has leaked.
Lenovo is combining elements of the HTC Flyer and Asus Eee Pad Transformer. They are incorporating stylus software with a “true pen” option for “sketching and note-taking.” and they will incorporate a keyboard dock called the keyboard booklet and cradle.
It will be called either the Thinkpad Tablet or Thinkpad Slate and some of the features include:
- NVIDIA Tegra 2
- 1280 X 800 IPS capacitive display
- Choice of 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB
- Front and rear facing cameras
- USB 2.0, Micro USB, and mini-HDMI ports
- Full-sized SD card slot.
- 3G/4G connectivity options
