Exclusive: Lenovo also working on a 5-inch Android tablet
No matter how tempting the specs on Lenovo's leaked 10.1-inch tablet
are, you might prefer something fairly more portable just for the sake
of your regular pockets. Well, it looks like Lenovo's got you covered,
too. Freshly delivered from the same anonymous tipster are a stash of
photos depicting a dual-core 5-inch Android tablet, which will
apparently be marketed under the usual LePad brand in China as well as
an upcoming IdeaTab brand for elsewhere (to help differentiate tablets
from the IdeaPad laptop line).
Not much else is known about this device, but the photos below do show a
micro-USB port, HDMI output, a front-facing camera and presumably three
capacitive buttons (which could mean it won't be launching with
Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich). There's a strong resemblance to the
Dell Streak 5
here if you ask us, though despite the earpiece-like feature next to
the front camera, our source couldn't confirm whether this tablet packs
voice call capability (like the Galaxy Note and Pantech Vega No.5). Anyhow, stay tuned as we dig for more info.
