Lenovo Preparing Two Android Tablets for Summer Launch Shane McGlaun (Blog) - June 16, 2011 3:48 PM by HandiCapable.. on Jun 16 at 4:41 PM dailytech.com Lots of computer firms are betting their tablet future on Android. The tablet market is growing as the notebook market is slowing. Some analysts think that the tablet market will continue to grow significantly in coming years as more consumers warm up to devices like the iPad 2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Lenovo has announced that it will be bringing two Android tablets to the U.S. market this summer. Lenovo will also be bringing a new Windows tablet to market later this year. Lenovo's President and COO Rory Read said in an interview that Lenovo would likely launch the first tablet in July with the second likely in August reports the WSJ. One of the Android tablets will be aimed at consumers while the other will naturally be aimed at enterprise users. The tablets will have similar features according other WSJ with both sporting 10-inch screens and Android Honeycomb. Pricing is expected to be in the $450 to $900 range according to Read. The consumer version of the tablet will be called the IdeaPad. The business version will have a stylus for capturing signatures and will be ThinkPad branded. Read said, "We've really been working to tailor the experience [of our tablets]. Some of the early-generation Android devices were a little ahead of their time, and what we're doing here is making sure [our tablets] are strong. We only have one opportunity to make that first good impression." Lenovo will be entering into a booming market with some analyst thinking Android has a tough road ahead with the iPad selling so well and issues surrounding many Android tablets. Read added that he thinks tablets will make up 15% of the computer market in the next three years and will take the place of netbooks. Read also noted that Lenovo won't likely have a smartphone in the U.S. for another year to year and a half with its primary focus for these devices currently being in China.
