LENOVO WORKING ON A 7 INCH TABLET WITH 1280 X 800 PIXELS DISPLAY?

Lenovo is reportedly working on a 7 inch tablet with an HD (1280 x 800 pixels) display. Like other top-of-the-line Android tablets available today this machine too will run Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system. It will be powered by a dual core ARM-based processor. That means it will have specs similar to those of the Motorola Xoom, Asus Eee Pad Transformer and the Acer Iconia Tab A500. Interestingly while all the models mentioned above have a 10.1 inch HD display, the Lenovo tablet has a 7 inch screen. At least, that is what we have heard.


Android 3.0 looks great on higher resolution displays but most of the third party Android apps are also not designed for tablets with such high resolution displays.It is also not clear how webpages will appear on a tiny display with such a high pixel density.

The source of this information is a leaked product roadmap. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of this tablet never seeing the light of the day. It is also possible that Lenovo will make some changes to the key specs before bringing it to the market. In any case, it is interesting to see that the 10 inch LePad isn't the only tablet Lenovo is currently working on.
