Lenovo is using those ideas from Palm and webOS because they are very good ideas. More people should adopt them.

Palm's team were some of the very first people to build touchscreen interfaces. They have a lot of experience setting trends and developing features that eventually become mainstream. ]]>Apr 20th 2010 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/Apr 20th 2010 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/

New Android phones sold in China do not come with android market. There are ways to 'unlock' the market, but it takes a bit of effort and some digging. I'm sure Lenovo Market won't be any different.

I bought a Moto XT 701 (sholes tablet) there last month. Instead of Android Market, it came with a Moto App Shop which was filled with crapware and some localized contents. took all but 30 min online to find the proper files tho, and now i have access to android market, as well as able to sync with my google account.]]>Apr 20th 2010 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/Apr 20th 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch//s I dont know how can reach it with your hands right there?.!?

As for this keyboard/case thing, it's totally impractical. It makes using the phone impossible without removing it from the case. So most people would just leave it out of the case most of the time, and then they'd have to have another case to use it with when it wasn't in the keyboard case. The only way it would make sense is if the person used it with Bluetooth 95% of the time. Otherwise, it's really just a silly design, and ultimately nothing better than an ordinary "candy-bar" style Android phone. There's a reason that sliders have been popular; they're one way to have a keyboard when you want it and to hide it when you don't without interfering with the phone's normal use as a phone. ]]>Apr 20th 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/Apr 20th 2010 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/Apr 20th 2010 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/lenovo-talks-up-lephone-shows-off-app-store-ahead-of-may-launch/Moi Agree ..
