Lenovo IdeaTab – If last week we reported Axel filtration of the new 10-inch tablet Lenovo, Android ICS and Tegra 3, today is the turn of another device in the computer manufacturer. It seems that small tablets – or giant cell – have become fashionable after misfortune on Dell Streak 5, and companies like Samsung, which has put up for sale its new Galaxy Note recently, are seeing a growing interest in this type of personal devices, which increasingly attract a greater number of consumers because of their characteristics, straddling between a smartphone and a tablet. Lenovo did not want to miss the party, and is also preparing its proposal for this market under the name Lenovo IdeaTab.
The hybrid of the multinational with offices in the U.S. and China has been leaked from an anonymous source in the form of photos, and comes to meet this emerging market need for highly compact tablets, which until now seemed to spend more unnoticed, or were appreciated from very limited circle of users. Lenovo, which has changed its strategy in the name of this device away from the nickname ” Lenovo IdeaTab ” used in laptops and TabletPC, has chosen this time to integrate a 5-inch screen in its new product, which looks quite promising, with a profile apparently quite fine. With regard to hardware, unfortunately there is no published information that can be described as accurate, but it is speculated that incorporate a dual core CPU (Tegra 2?), Like the Samsung machine. Filtered through the pictures can also know that incorporate the standard MicroUSB data transfer and charging, and what appears to be an output microHDMI, to connect to high-definition panels, along with a front camera for communications. According to the source, Lenovo IdeaTab includes capacitive buttons at the bottom of the front, which do not correspond to an Android Honeycomb device or Ice Cream Sandwich.
The official website Android.com is not new, since it already existed in the past; however, he recently had a facelift on his presentation which now allows its users to access a wide range of information useful.
When it connects, the first thing that we can distinguish is the new layout with a Google-backed Galaxy Nexus unknown tablet in Ice Cream Sandwich.

There is also a refreshing GTalk icons and Web browser.

Asus Transformer Prime – Although it is expected before year end, the new Tablet Asus Transformer series has not yet reached the market; despite it already leaked test results from the first performance of this device. With SoC Tegra 3 four – or five – this tablet is called to be the first of a new generation of high performance, capable of processing power at a very fair energy cost. But this first published score exceeds the expectations of many, with a result that nearly doubles the performance achieved by the original Asus Eee Pad Transformer.
With the benchmark application for Android devices AnTuTu, the “bug” Asus has managed to overcome the barrier of 10,000 points, something that had not yet achieved any smartphone or tablet – at least factory defaults – so far; the new Asus Transformer Prime has achieved no less than 12,872 points, although in principle have been achieved with a frequency of 1.6Ghz, 200Mhz above the base value of Tegra 3, but the image reflects the speed series. This score places it virtually twice the raw power than its predecessor, which had already reached the respectable number of 7596 points.
