If you have not seen the LePad by
Lenovo, just imagine a iPhone 3GS that has been supersized and given a huge 10 inch capacative screen.
The
first time
Lenovo announced it's
tablet, the
first ever by the giant Chinese computer company, was all the way back in January 2010. At that time it was sporting a 1.3Ghz Snap Dragon
CPU and running a custom version of
Android 2.2 called LeOS!
It's unsure what nearly a year and a half of extra development time has brought the LePad, but what we do know is that it will be available in
China from March and then globally from June.
The LePad is quite unique in that the
tablet portion of the device can be used individually, or connected to a clamshell
netbook design. However, when the Lepad is in its shell the
tablet turns into a
monitor running Windows 7 from the case!
Rumored specs claim the LePad will get 32Gb of
storage, Android
2.2 (poss
3.0) and an Atom
CPU for when it is in
netbook mode.
