Lenovo has announced that it has expanded its IdeaTab product line with the IdeaTab S2110, A2107 and A2109. Powered by the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) operating system, the new product line-up provides smarter, slimmer tablet designs with a variety of multimedia options at attractive price points.

“The newest line of Ideatab products provides an option for everyone who wants to keep all of their favorite books, songs and movies at their fingertips, no matter where they go,” said Liu Jun, senior vice president, and president, Mobile Internet and Digital Home business. “Whether consumers crave a pocket tablet with 3G connectivity or seek a premium entertainment tablet for games and graphics, Lenovo has it, and at every price point.”

The IdeaTab S2110 is a premium entertainment tablet with an optional detachable keyboard dock to provide a true PC+ experience that moves easily between the tablet and PC worlds. At just 8.69mm and only 580g, it is one of the thinnest and lightest 10-inch tablets available today. The tablet’s IPS (In-Plane Switching) screen with 178-degree viewing angle and unique 10-point multi-touch display is ideal for two-player gaming, whereas a micro-HDMI port enables full HD viewing of 1080p on an HDTV. When attached to the keyboard dock, the S2110 delivers double battery life for up to 20 hours of activity. It also features an SD card reader and USB ports to connect a thumb drive, external hard drive or mouse. The S2110 is also equipped with 1GB memory and has a textured back cover that provides a more comfortable grip.
