All major PC vendors are succumbing to the tablet bug one after the other. According to a recent report on TradingMarkets.com, Lenovo is readying an Android-based tablet computer called the LePad. The website cites comments made by Lenovo Group’s senior vice president Liu Jun.
The news was later confirmed by a spokesperson for the Chinese PC vendor. Lenovo spokeswoman Wu Hwa told Reuters that her company was indeed developing an Android-based tablet. She went on to state that Lenovo had chosen Android as it wanted the tablet to be compatible with its recently launched LePhone smartphone. However, she did not reveal when exactly the tablet, called LePad for now, will be launched.

Seriously after their ThinkPads and Ideapads they should've called it a WonderPad or PonderPad or something along the lines of thinking.

This is old news, as Lenovo announced this back in January when they demo'd their Ideapad U1 and Skylight offering as well. The U1 is my choice, as it is a hybrid laptop/tablet, that is delayed until second half of this year, as they are replacing the Linux OS with Android on the slate plus upgrading the 1GB snapdragon proc with a dual core snapdragon processor for the slate. In laptop mode it will run an Intel pro with 4GB of ram and Win 7, but when you detach the screen it will seemlessly switch to Android. http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=428

What is with all the retarded names for tablets? LePad sounds like something French women use once a month.
