[Rumor] Is Lenovo Working On A 7-Inch Honeycomb Tablet?


We heard about Lenovo’s Honeycomb-sporting ThinkPad (aka Think Slate) tablet yesterday, but I guess that just wasn’t enough rumor coverage for Lenovo. In the same PowerPoint where they found the info on the ThinkPad, tech blog This Is My Next has also stumbled across a 7-inch Honeycomb tablet that could possibly come out sometime in Q4. While there is little known at this point, here are the (rather vague) details from the leak:

  • 7 Inch, 1280×800 display
  • Dual Core ARM processor
  • "Le OS / Honeycomb" Android with Lenovo UI
  • Available Q4 2011
It looks like it should have the same custom interface as the ThinkPad, which we don’t really have a lot of information on. One thing that I find intriguing, however, is the 7-inch 1280×800 screen. Personally, I love the 7-inch form factor, but the (generally) low-res screens have always kept me away. The addition of a HD resolution on a 7-inch tablet may be just what the doctor ordered.
What do you think? Would you be interested in a 7-incher with a high res like this?
