    10.1” WXGA (1280x800) 16:10 IPS panel with Corning® Gorilla® Glass

    That should be better than the Ipad display?

    I think Android is a big mistake for the Thinkpad line :(

    It should have been webOS 3.0 (you can always dream) or Win 8. I'd rather see that they had waited for Win 8 than an Android release. Oh well, I guess I should atleast wait for some reviews before judging.

    Why Windows 8? It's not like it'd run existing applications, and Android has a *much* stronger support base at this point.

    Lets see how it fares in reviews and then start to diss it :D
    But I too would like to add note regarding Androind and ThinkPad - big no no IMO, unless its ThinkPad'ised Android so it doesnt look just any other Android tablet out there and fitted with some neat little things that arent available in other slates.

    Edit. So far not impressed, another overpriced tablet, less or more, for now at least tablets cost way too much.

    Edit2. I wish they waited for 4 core Tegra platform, that would be more awesome :D And I do like its design tho.
