Lenovo is adding yet another Android tablet to it’s recently launched line. The newest tablet is the Lenovo IdeaPad A1, an inexpensive 7-inch Android tablet that can go head-to-head against the first Samsung Galaxy Tab.

For the price you get a 1024x600 resolution screen with two points of multitouch powered by a 1 GHz Cortex 8 CPU. Like Lenovo’s other Android tablets you have some customized elements in… Full Story » | Written by Shawn Ingram for . | Comment on this Article »
It looks like Best Buy has lowered the pricing on the BlackBerry PlayBook. And while you can save up to $150, keep in mind—this discounting is nothing like the TouchPad fire-sale that we recently saw. That being said, the pricing does appear to be a bit inconsistent. For example, the 16GB and 32GB models come with a $50 savings and the 64GB model comes with a $150 savings—that means that the 32GB and 64GB models both end up priced the same. Bottom line, if you had been considering the purchase of a BlackBerry PlayBook then now seems like a good… Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for . | Comment on this Article »
