Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet Feature | Outside of the Blackberry PlayBook, the enterprise tablet market has been pretty thin. However, that might soon change, as Lenovo seems to be looking to get in on the action with a new business oriented tablet. According to a presentation leaked by the folks over at This is my next,
Lenovo could be planning on releasing a ThinkPad tablet in the near future.
All of that will be packed into a 1.6 pound body – quite light if you ask me. The leaked slide points to a target ship month of July for 9. For a tablet with so much going for it, it already sounds like a winner, but as most of us know, if it has a lousy battery, it’ll be dead on arrival.It will be slightly thicker and heavier than the iPad 2, but it rocks several hardware goodies we haven't seen in a Honeycomb tablet yet including USB 2.0 and a SD card slot.
The price for it will apparently be at $499 for the basic model, which leaves out a number of options, like the broadband connection or the dock. It should be released at some point between July and September.
Android tablets in the workplace are still very young and have virtually no presence in a climate so far dominated by the iPad. Lenovo may be the first to seriously test Apple's workplace position by relying both on enterprise-level software and the assumptions that go behind its brand name.
Here are the specs:
• 10.1 inch touch screen at 1280 X 800 resolution
• Weighs 1.6 pounds and is 0.55 inches thick (That's thicker and heavier than both the iPad 2 and Motorola Xoom)
• Tegra 2 processor
• Optional "true pen" for writing on the tablet (similar to what HTC's Flyer Tablet will have)
• Optional keyboard case that turns the tablet into an Android-powered laptop
• Android Honeycomb 3.0
• Wifi and 3G connectivity with 16, 32, and 64 GB versions
