Spotted: 3 new Lenovo tablet computers, well almost, 1 of them goes on sale today, another will hit the market in August, while the 3rd will be launched later this year. Just when you thought competition in the tablet PC market couldn’t heat up more than it already has, think again! Introducing the new IdeaPad K1, ThinkPad and IdeaPad P1 family of tablets.

To be more specific, as of today the IdeaPad K1 tablet, running Android Honeycomb 3.1, is available on the market. Lenovo’s ThinkPad will hit store shelves on August 2nd and the IdeaPad P1 tablet will run on the Windows 7 operating system and will go on sale later this year sometime during Q4.

Each of the 3 new tablets from Lenovo are diverse and full of great specs and features. Another thing that sets their 2 Honeycomb powered tablet PC’s apart from all the rest is that they are the first ever official Netflix certified tablets.

VP of Business Development at Netflix, Bill Holmes mentions:

We’re very excited to see that TV shows and movies streaming from Netflix will be available on Lenovo’s family of Android-powered tablets

Lenovo 10.1 Inch ThinkPad Tablet

Lenovo’s ThinkPad is designed for business. It comes bundled with nearly as many free apps as the IdeaPad K1 (over 25 apps), and yes there’s no need to worry because Angry Birds is included, reading minds is one of my super powers. Jokes aside (my mind reading ability is no joke of course), this Honeycomb powered tablet really is the perfect device for your business on the go.
