Lenovo LePad A1-07 tablet makes Chinese debut in beach-ready attire
Lenovo's been playing coy with the A1-07, giving us little to go on since we first caught wind of it at the FCC last month. Well, it appears it's time to ditch those Blurrycam photos for some real-deal promo stills, because this mysterious slate quietly made its debut in China earlier this week -- and from the looks of things, it's already got its mind set on a vacation. Along with a smattering of photographs that picture the slab kicking it seaside, the official LePad A1-07 page shows off some familiar looking specs. As we'd previously heard, this LePad sports a 7-inch, 1024 x 600 display and a microSD slot. Unfortunately, our instincts were also right about the A1-07 lacking Honeycomb; this one's running Android 2.3. What's more, it packs a 1GHz TI OMAP3622 processor -- not the OMAP3621 previously reported -- 512MB of RAM, 16GB of storage, front and back-facing cameras, and a micro-USB port. The LePad A1-07 will set our friends in China back ¥2,500 (about $390), but Lenovo's not giving up US details just yet. Perhaps we'll see this 7-incher on the other side of its late summer vacay, but until then, check out its beach body in the gallery below. %Gallery-130917% [Thanks, Peter]
Mystery Lenovo Tablet tries to sneak through the FCC, 7-inch IdeaPad on the way?
Tell Sally Kimball to grab her bike, looks like we're gonna have to leave Idaville to solve this mystery. What appears to be a brand new tablet from the fine folks at Lenovo just tried to sneak its way through the FCC, bearing the model numbers IdeaPad A1-07 and LePad A1-07. There is a chance, however remote, this could be LePad successor CEO Yang Yuanqing said would be coming in September or October. But, with the K1 and P1 having only recently emerged from the shadowy back alleys of Leaktown, it's hard to imagine the Chinese manufacturer is already prepping a follow up. The "07" implies this could be a 7-inch sibling of those 10-inch slates, but we're just taking shots in the dark. The only thing we know for certain is the A1-07 sports Bluetooth -- not terribly surprising. If you're the type who likes line graphs and regulatory labels make sure to hit up the source link.
