Lenovo’s CEO, Yang Yuanqing said, “With more and more mobile professionals relying on both their BlackBerry smartphone and ThinkPad laptop PC, we view better integration between the two devices as a necessity. Today’s announcement is the first step in combining these best-in-class solutions to deliver a more useful and powerful mobile work experience.”
Lenovo Constant Connect, the first solution developed by Lenovo, will allow enterprise email received on a user’s BlackBerry smartphone to be automatically synchronised via Bluetooth onto the user’s ThinkPad laptop – even if the ThinkPad laptop is off.
In addition to greater flexibility and convenience, it can also reduce the need to use the laptop with fee-based Wi-Fi networks. Lenovo Constant Connect is expected to be available from Lenovo and its business partners in the later part of this year.
Research In Motion’s Co-CEO, Jim Balsillie said, “Lenovo is adding significant value for our mutual customers by developing tighter and more seamless integration between Lenovo ThinkPad laptops and BlackBerry smartphones. By leveraging the industry-leading, push-based connectivity of the BlackBerry solution, Lenovo Constant Connect will simplify email synchronisation on the laptop and provide mobile professionals with greater flexibility to manage their email on the move.”
