Lenovo Mobile Sets Design Trends
Lenovo starts transforming its business suite of the ThinkPad line for more daring design as seen in its “IdealPad U1” and the “LePhone”.
The IdealPad U1 is a full Windows 7 netbook powered by the CULV Intel Core 2 Duo processor when it is docked in to its shell. But when detached it becomes a 11.6” multi-touch tablet running a Lenovo Skylight, a Linux-based OS powered by the 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon paired with a 16GB SSD. For the first time, the device actually feature dual CPU types and dual OS. The transition between the 2 modes is perfectly seamless.
For less drastic design but yet carry the same theme is the Lenovo LePhone, an Android -based smartphone powered by the speedy 1GHz SnapDragon. The phone features a 3.7” capacitive touch-screen and an optional shell housing a QWERTY keyboard and a clear cover.
According to Lenovo, these devices aren’t just a design exercise. You should be able to purchase them by mid year…
