Lenovo Group, the world's No 4 PC brand, said it will come out with its own tablet PC, will try to compete with line of companies who will soon come out with there own version of android based tablet rivaling Apple Inc's popular iPad.
Lenovo was developing a tablet PC, known internally as LePad, that would run on Google Inc's Android operating system, Lenovo spokeswoman Wu Hwa said on Wednesday, adding that no launch date had been set and the name of the product may change.
"We want the tablet PC to be compatible with our LePhone smartphone, which is why we're using Android," Wu said.
Tablet PC shipments are expected to grow by an average 57.4 percent per year between 2010 and 2014, research firm IDC said, making the sector a lucrative growth area for companies selling heavily commoditised laptops.
"iSuppli believe that the only limitation on iPad sales now is production and not demand," iSuppli analyst Rhoda Alexander said.
