Lenovo IdeaPad A1The good: The Lenovo IdeaPad A1 includes front and rear cameras, Bluetooth, memory expansion, and a full-fledged Android experience, at a great price.
The bad: The screen has a bad viewing angle, the design is chunky, and the Android OS isn't the latest and greatest.
The bottom line: The Lenovo A1 is a classic Android tablet, at an attractive price, but its subpar screen gives the competition an edge.
The tablet market is quickly dividing into two camps: those competing against the iPad on the high end, and budget-minded products that compete with the Amazon Kindle Fire.
Priced as low as $199, the Lenovo IdeaPad A1 tablet clearly falls in the latter category. In fact, the spec sheet on this 7-inch tablet reads like the antidote to every complaint against the Kindle Fire. Lenovo's tablet packs more storage, more features, and offers a larger app store than any other tablet we've seen at this price.
Sheeesh. Makes me regret buying the Kindle Fire.
Most people are better off with a Kindle Fire. The Lenovo uses the single core OMAP 3622 versus the dual core OMAP 4430 on the Kindle Fire. Also, the customized Android port on the Kindle Fire is better integrated to their hardware than most other Android tablets. Flash is smaller (8GB) but that should not be an issue in most applications. The Kindle Fire is normally $10 more than this deal, but it has been lower.

Oooh, comes with Android 2.3! That's a lot more version than, umm, the Blackberry Playbook, I guess?
