Lenovo U8

Some of you might remember two weeks ago when we said that we would keep you posted on the Lenovo IdeaPad U8. 

Well, it has been officially launched at the Olympics!  I guess there is no better place to launch Chinese technology than in Beijing right now, right? 

Here are the golden specs.  It has a 6GB SSD, up to 2GB of RAM, plus a 800MHz Intel Atom Z500 processor.  Other exciting features include dual cameras, support for mobile television, as well as 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and EDGE connectivity.  As for the battery life, it has about 5 hours, and the entire unit weights 10 grams. 

Unfortunately, this unit will only be available in China, and the company has said it will be at a price “equivalent” to smartphones.  As far as the release date, we have heard “sometime in September”.
