Information Madness

Lenovo has come up with models by name ThinkPad and IdeaPad and the names could make laymen think that these are also names of tablets, but Lenovo has manufactured laptops with these names! But companies like HTC, Samsung and RIM have been in the tablet arena long back and Lenovo appeared not to be moving in the current trend. It was planning windows 7 based dual operating system tablet concepts quite recently. But now the company is coming out with IdeaPad K1 which is Android Honeycomb device.

 

The IdeaPad K1 has 10.1 inch wide screen and comes with Honeycomb 3.1 and is expected to be released in July. The entry level product is priced at $449 for 16 GB WIFI version. The tablet weighs 1.6 pounds. It is given a silver exterior color and comes with rubberized back. It measures a maximum thickness of 13 mm and it tapers at one end. Like other Android powered devices it features 2 cameras. The front one has 2 MPixel camera while the regular camera at the back has 5 Mpixel resolution. It supports full sized USB input. The screen has 1280 X 800 resolution. Physical Home button on the front is an useful option.

Though Android offers many useful features, Lenovo has made it still more functional like on screen control that gives direct access to internet, music, mail and ebooks.

Lenovo has taken care to provide reliable and safe applications with their own app store. Besides Lenovo has added few more custom apps like file management utility that have enhanced the tablets usefulness.
