Lenovo: Tablets have to wait for Android 3.5

The news about Lenovo's music pad tablet has been reported that it will be launched by the end of this year in China, and overseas listing time has not been disclosed. Rory Read, president and chief operating officer of Lenovo, said in an interview with reporters recently that after the release of Google’s new tablet Android-based system, Android 3.5, they will release their products to the US market.

For the launch time of the new tablet, Rory Read thinks this mainly depends on the release time of Android 3.5. It may be four months after the release of next summer or Android 3.5. The Android 3.5, code-named Beehive, is a new system created by Google for tablets. Lenovo's new tablet launch time will be closely linked with it.

However, it is certain that Android 2.2 will not be introduced into its own tablet. In Rory Read's view, it is not suitable for multi-functional tablet computers. Together with it, Microsoft Windows 7 is not included in the tablet system.

Howard Locker, director of new technology at Lenovo, believes that the challenge for Win 7 is that it still adopts the same model as the first system in 1985. Its system interface is more suitable for mouse and keyboard operation, but it is still better optimized for touch operations.

Currently Lenovo has solved the problem of adding its own proprietary touch technology to the Win 7 interface. Howard Locker said that Win 7 is more suitable for multitasking, and Android and other mobile systems are more suitable for single-task processing, and the latter can improve battery time. Suitable for portable models with small batteries. Even if Android turns to multitasking, it is different from Win 7.
