AT&T Adds Lenovo IdeaTab A2107

T-Mobile may be done with the idea of carrier subsidies, but AT&T is ready to just pile them on. In the category of 7" tablets, Lenovo's A2107 is not too bad of a deal. Some specs don't quite match up to the N7; for example the screen is a little lower resolution, it only runs Android 4.0, and the processor is a little less powerful. However, where those aspects lack, this slate makes up for it with front and rear cameras and a 3G radio at a lower introductory price point. AT&T today has announced it now plans on carrying this unit in its stores, offering the device for $200 off contract.

If you want to save a little money up front, though, you can get a two-year contract that will knock $100 off the price tag, bringing it down to a fairly easy-to-swallow $99. What might be more difficult to stomach, though, is paying a 3G data bill for 24 months on a device that already lags behind six-month old hardware. For the curious, here are the essential specs:

7" 1024x600 350 nit display
1GHz Cortex A9 processor
1GB DDR2 RAM (512MB for Wi-Fi models)
4GB, 8GB, or 16GB storage options
microUSB, microSD card slot
10 hour battery life
Android 4.0

Customers who opt for the data plan can add this tablet to an existing Mobile Share account for $10/month, or get a standalone DataConnect plan. The Lenovo A2107 is on sale at AT&T's website right now.
