Lenovo To Launch LePad 2 To Catch Up Apple iPad 2

Lenovo Group, a Chinese computer maker said they are planning to launch 2nd version LePad by the end of this year as to show their efforts to catch up Apple iPad 2.

The chief executive of Lenovo, Yang Yuanqing said Apple has set new level for the others computer makers to catch up. But anyway, they felt “fully confident” that surpass Apple’s iPad in the China’s market. As a domestic brand, they do have the ability to do better than a foreign brand in its homeland.

Yang told ChinaDaily that the upcoming LePad has many unique features such as the support for dual 3G technology (EV-DO and WCDMA), Adobe Flash and multiple video formats. The device is built with 10.1-inch screen that runs the Android 2.2 OS on a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.

He noted that they do have a closer relationship with Chinese Internet companies such as Baidu and Tencent, which will make LePad more suitable for Chinese consumers.

While Lenovo is planning for the device to be sold internationally in June, company spokesman Jay Chen couldn’t say which markets will be targeted.
