Lenovo’s tablet portfolio currently contains three devices - to wit, the IdeaPad A1, IdeaPad K1 and ThinkPad. But according to an Engadget exclusive, the vendor has plans to expand its tablet portfolio with the addition of a dual-core 5-inch Android tablet. Hit the jump for more.
Apparently, the 5-inch tablet will be marketed under the LePad brand in China and the IdeaPad name elsewhere. The site’s anonymous source, who was kind enough to share some pics of the device, was not able to confirm whether or not it features voice call capability.
But certain things are quite evident in the leaked photos. It is clear that the tablet, which could eventually turn out to be a smartphone/tablet hybrid, features a micro-USB port, HDMI output, a front-facing camera. Also, the presence of three capacitive buttons indicates that this device is most likely to run either Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwhich.

This may be the first of a new trend of 'crossover' phone/ tablets. Smartphones gained their early traction by allowing users to no longer have to carry multiple devices such as a PDA, cell phone and notebook. For some this could combine their tablet and smartphone if properly equipped.

5 inches. Any smaller and it should be a phone. Any bigger and it would be media tablet (Nook/Kindle). So 5 inches is really good for nothing. What a terrible size selelction.

It would almost have to be a hybrid, otherwise what's the point? I can get a Droid Razr with a 4.3" screen...
