If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on the Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet K1, good news for you, as the tablet is now on sale today from Office Depot. The IdeaPad Tablet K1 is an Android tablet that’s said to be “optimized for the web like no other tablet.” It comes with an NVIDIA Tegra 2 SoC, a 10.1″ (1280 x 800) display, Android 3.1 Honeycomb, HDMI out support, WiFi connectivity, a 2-megapixel front facing camera and a rear 5-megapixel camera. It is also the first Android-powered tablet certified to deliver Netflix video streaming, which is a big deal seeing how Netflix isn’t available on all Android devices yet.

Besides Netflix, the tablet will also come preloaded with over $50 worth of apps from companies like Amazon, Adobe, Electronic Arts, Rovio, Zinio, Dataviz and more. I’m not sure why Lenovo is pushing it as a web-optimized tablet, but I do know that with Need for Speed Shift and Angry Birds preloaded on the device, you can definitely have a great time with it straight out of the box. The IdeaPad Tablet K1 with Wi-Fi retails for $499.99 (32GB) and is now available for purchase at Office Depot retail store locations and online.
