Lenovo Making a Thinkpad Android Tegra 2 Tablet
Will this be more attractive to businesses than the PlayBook?
Lenovo is moving its Thinkpad brand to the slate category, according to information obtained by This is My Next.
The Thinkpad tablet will be running Android 3.0, AKA Honeycomb, and will be powered by the dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset. Like the Motorola Xoom, this set up is becoming the standard for the modern Android-powered tablets.
It will have a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 IPS LCD which will also have stylus input for sketching and note-taking. It will be a bit on the hefty side at 1.6-lbs and 0.55-inches thick.
The Lenovo slate will also have the ability to dock into a laptop-like shell for a full keyboard experience. From the slides, however, it doesn't look like the dock attachment will have the trademark red pointing stick that all the other Thinkpads have.
With a launch date and price already put in a slide, it shouldn’t be too long before we hear official word about this.

Will be interesting to compare this to the Asus Transformer
OK...I will wait for this to be reviewed first and then decide which one to get, Transformer or this one..
Finally someone thought about taking notes with a pen. Wasn't it a pretty obvious use case??? I hope they have developed some good handwriting recognition (such as Windows 7's)
