Thursday during the IDA 2012 show in Berlin, Lenovo introduced three new tablets in its Ideatab line: The Ideatab S2110, A2107 and A2109. All three sport smarter, slimmer tablet designs highlighted by Google's Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" OS.
According to Lenovo, the Ideatab S2110 is the company's new premium entertainment 10-inch tablet with an optional detachable keyboard dock. The two other additions, the A2107 and A2109, are 7 and 9-inch affordable solutions respectively.
Lenovo describes the new Ideatab S2110 as one of the thinnest 10-inch tablets today, measuring 8.69-mm and weighing 580g. The tablet's IPS (In-Plane Switching) screen features a 178-degree viewing angle and unique 10-point multi-touch capabilities, ideal for two-player gaming. Other features include a microHDMI port for viewing 1080p media on an HDTV, a 5MP Autofocus camera on the back, a 1.3MP camera on the front, 1 GB of RAM, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a textured back cover for a more comfortable grip.
"When attached the to the keyboard dock, the S2110 delivers double battery life for up to 20 hours of activity, as well as an SD card reader and USB ports to connect a thumb drive, external hard drive or mouse," Lenovo said on Thursday.
As for the smaller tablets, the A2107 features a 7-inch screen, two speakers, a microSD card, Bluetooth 4.0, a built-in FM radio, 720p HD resolution, and up to ten hours of active use. This version will be offered in a Wi-Fi only model, and a Wi-Fi + 3G version with A-GPS capabilities.
