IdeaPAD
Through my travels online I always try to find the cool and great products coming out for consumers. The Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet A1 is a 7-inch Android unit and from what I have read it will be carrying the Gingerbread OS from Android.

Now there are plenty of poor excuses Android tablets out there, but most have weak construction and many are locked out of the Android Market — meaning no Gmail app, no Maps, and none of the other built-in Google goodies. That’s not the case with the A1, which is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread on a single-core Cortex A8 processor. It has front- and rear-facing cameras (the back one rated at three megapixels) and a 7-inch, 1,024 x 600 display. Not too shabby if you ask me.
For $199 you’ll get 8GB of storage, but a 16GB model will go for $249, 32GB for $299. Only the 16GB and 32GB models will be shipped to the US, which is a bit of a shame, as with both microSD and SD expansion it’ll be fairly easy to add more. Connectivity is limited to WiFi, but there is a GPS in there, so it could make for a passable navigation device. Don’t forget this is a Lenovo product so even though it is cheap you would have to believe it is quailty.
