IBM Lenovo IdeaPad A1 Android Tablet Available for $199 ~ Computer Hardware Mall

In what seems like a common occurrence these days, Lenovo has just dropped the price on their Android-powered IdeaPad A1 tablet down to $200 via their website. The tablet was originally introduced at $350 back when manufacturers were a bit more optimistic on Android tablet adoption. This new price point seems to fall more in line with what is being actually being offered.

The Lenovo IdeaPad A1 features a 7-inch dsiplay with 1024 x 600 resolution, 1GHz TI OMAP A8 processor, 2GB of internal storage, GPS, Bluetotoh, WiFi, micro SD slot, 5 megapixel rear facing camera, and 2 megapixel front facing camera. On the software side of things the IdeaPad A1 skimps out on Honeycomb and instead goes with Anhdroid ‘Gingerbread’ 2.3. Unlike the similarly priced Kindle Fire, the IdeaPad A1 does come with a pair of 3MP rear/.3MP front facing cameras for quick snap shots or webchatting. The IdeaPad A1 also comes in your choice of black, white, pink or blue flavors. For $200, sounds like a pretty good deal to me. What do you guys think?

This low price will be a good test to see what the market will bear. The common view is that Android tablets by and large are too expensive to compete with the iPad. The recent $99 sale of the discontinued HP TouchPad demonstrated that a lot of folks will buy a tablet with good hardware if the price is cheap enough. The $199 price of the Lenovo A1 makes it firmly competitive with the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the original 7-inch Android tablet.
