jkOnTheRun found photos of IBM/Lenovo's upcoming tablet ThinkPad on the FCC's Website (example, big PDF). Electronics companies have to submit new devices for approval, and alert bloggers and others -- no doubt including IBM's competition -- are always on the lookout for such stuff.
As a ThinkPad owner (though I'm using it mainly to run Linux), this is news I can use.

Dan,
This is the second or third time you've mentioned your new Linux-driven ThinkPad. Have you ditched your PowerBook because of Apple's aggressive behavior of late?

Dan, I've been a big fan of your work for some time. Thanks for the mention of my blog.

"Ernst," I'm still using the Powerbook for most things, but hedging my bets (and doing due diligence on technology I need to understand).

I wonder if IBM will sue the FCC for releasing "trade secrets"?
