Lenovo’s LePad tablet will have a US launch sometime in 2011, CEO Yuan Yangqing said on Friday to the Wall Street Journal. The company leader didn’t provide a price, but he also delayed the Android device’s release in China, where it would now ship early in 2011 instead of the originally planned December.
The 10-inch slate would originally have been powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 16GB of storage and 512MB of RAM. Whether or not the details will remain the same isn’t as clear since the device would be shipping past its original release date.
Lenovo still plans to make its cornerstone feature a dock, though it may not necessarily follow the previous pattern of having a full Windows 7 notebook as it dis with the IdeaPad U1.
