Today, Engadget reported (was tipped anonymously) that Lenovo is planning to release a new 10.1-inch tablet loaded with Google Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), by the end of the year. The tablet will be powered by Nvidia’s new Tegra 3 quad-core processor (Kal-El) and 2GB of memory. 

There isn’t a lot on specs, but judging by the photos published on Engadget’s site, the tablet will come with an ergonomic design and aluminum alloy chassis, a standard USB 2.0 port, a rear-facing camera and a rear fingerprint reader, which will also work as a joystick (strolling), as seen in the past (April, 2007) on the Toshiba Portage G500 WM5 smartphone (also positioned at the rear).
