statement that the company was seeing stronger interest in large screen sizes for Windows tablets in North America, and has been pleased with the demand for the ThinkPad 10. The smaller models, henceforth, are no longer part of its local offering. Surprising news for Microsoft, one may say, as the technology titan was encouraging hardware vendors to build smaller tablets running its modern operating platform. There are no licensing costs for tablets with screens smaller than 9 inches. The plan was to compete with Android in this domain, but it appears that these devices have a much brighter future in other parts of the globe.]]>

Not surprised at all. There’s minimal difference between smartphones and small tablets. I never thought this would work from the start.
That tablet looks like a droid. Not discernibly different. At least not enough to cause someone to pay more for a tablet thats almost the same as a smart phone. Good riddance to this Glad Lenovo figured this out.
Maybe they just don’t want Lenovo tablets. Also, like most OEMS, maybe they’ve just been doing a terrible job of marketing these devices
Today Lenovo say they will continue selling small tables in the US and have new units lined up for the fall. What to believe anymore!
