Lenovo to Roll out Android-based Lepad at Yearend

Lenovo Group Limited (SEHK: 0992), one of the top-ranking personal computer (PC) makers in the world, is set to launch Lepad, a tablet computer based on the sparkling Android operating system, at the end of 2010.

The to-be-launched gadget will echo Lephone, an Android-based smartphone the PC giant rolled out previously, in functions like e-mail and web browse, said Liu Jun, senior vice president for Lenovo Group and president for Lenovo Product Group.

The company has taken tablet PC as a crucial part of its mobile Internet strategy for an expansion in the 3G era, according to Mr. Liu, declining to say when the long-brewed Skylight and IdeaPad U1 will come into the market.

Bullish on the prospect of the Chinese mobile Internet market, Lenovo Group is about to come up with a series of new products following the debut of Lephone, disclosed Yang Yuanqing, chief executive officer for the Hong Kong-listed company.
