Lenovo Outs The ThinkPad Tablet, An Android Tablet You Might Actually Want

Last week I tuned into a press preview of today's Lenovo announcement. It was an online presentation so, you know, I went on and did other things while half listening. I was nearly ready to close the tab after listening to 20 minutes of some product manager explaining every little detail about the consumer-oriented IdeaPad K1 Honeycomb tablet. All he really had to say was, "We made a Honeycomb tablet. It's the same as the rest besides it ships with Netflix. It has 32GB of storage and ships in August for $499." That's all I need to report as well. But then the presentation went to the ThinkPad tablet and I woke right up. This is the Android tablet the niche market has wanted all along.
