Lenovo has announced that it will launch a tablet computer by the end of the year.

The Lepad will be the first PC made by the firm that does not feature a keyboard and will run the Linux based Android operating system. Lenovo has offered tablets in its Thinkpad and Ideapad ranges for some time, however the Lepad is the first model aimed to bolster its 3G oriented offerings.

The company has made it known that it intends to ride the Chinese mobile Internet wave. If comments made by its CEO Liu Chuanzhi regarding Apple's CEO Steve Jobs who apparently "doesn't care about China" are true, then Lenovo shouldn't have any trouble raking in the cash.

Lenovo has already announced a smartphone, innovatively dubbed the Lephone, that will also run Google's Android operating system. The firm hopes that the Lepad will plug a gap in its product range, one which resulted in those not requiring the productivity boost of a real keyboard being left out in the cold. Though it announced when the Lepad will surface, Lenovo did not divulge what it will cost.
