Lenovo's ready to get specific with dates now that Google's got itself  an honest to goodness tablet OS. A company spokesman said that its 
LePad tablet -- first 
announced by that name back in June 2010 but previewed at CES all the way 
back in January 2010  -- will ship in its home country of China in March before making its  way to the global stage in June. Unfortunately, Lenovo isn't saying  anything about final specs or which countries are first on its list --  we already knew it was coming to the 
US in 2011.  The company's also not talking price. Last time we saw LePad in January  it was sporting Android 2.2 with a custom "LeOS" skin riding a 1.3GHz  Snapdragon processor and 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 pixel display with a price  just north of $500. Question is: will Lenny set it free with vanilla  Honeycomb or will it feel compelled to apply the LeOS skin in order to  avoid becoming 
just another Android tablet?
