The recent two years mobile Internet has been being very popular. Apple’s iPhone swept a big popularity whirlwind over the world in 2009, since it represents the feature of mobile Internet—lightweight and portability. As the next fertile soil of IT field, mobile Internet also attracts some Internet companies and PC manufacturers such as Google and Lenovo.

As we know, Google has launched its own brand phone Nexus One recently. Obviously, as the terminal of mobile Internet, the mobile phone naturally is a field of strategic importance and in order to get a right to speak in this field, Google released its mobile phone which is a shortcut for it to enter this field. Google as a Internet company disinclines to be hands-off at this big business; Lenovo as a PC maker certainly is unwilling to be outdone. You may still remember the event of Lenovo buyback of Lenovo Mobile at the end of 2009 which was regarded as an important signal of Lenovo marching on mobile Internet and now one month past, Lenovo officially announced the mobile Internet strategy at CES 2010 last week on January 6.

There was only one month from buyback of Lenovo Mobile to official announcement of mobile Internet strategy and the three heavyweight products were released at the same time. In this way, Lenovo really acted in the mobile Internet at top speed which not only made its competitors be caught unprepared but also the users be taken by surprise.

Top Speed of Releasing Three Products All at Once

At the CES 2010, Lenovo released the mobile Internet products of its first generation: smartbook Skylight, smartphone LePhone and dual-mode notebook ideapad U1 with brand-new creative idea. Regardless the features of the three products, just the momentum of releasing all at once took the industry’s breath away. In Lenovo’s opinion, mobile Internet is an integrative concept and the hardware devices it depends on are not restricted to smartphones or smartbooks but more individualized and more intelligent products according to the needs of users to make users enjoy the unprecedented change brought by mobile Internet.

Top Speed of Product Innovation

The three products are full of innovation. Firstly, Skylight is the world’s first ARM-based smartbook cooperating with Qualcomm. The netbook was a new force that suddenly rose in 2008 and 2009 to make Internet stride forward in the direction of light, thin and convenient application, while Skylight continue to develop in this direction based on the netbook, with not only lighter and thinner but also instant available features. Skylight supports multi Internet connection types including 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and wired connection and the battery life can last throughout the day to make the user always online and connect Internet at will.

Secondly, the biggest innovation of the smartphone LePhone is to supply rich and humanizing services for users. For example, the most important information for users can be pushed to the LePhone in real time through the “push” technology self-developed by Lenovo and more desktop widgets and apps can be downloaded through the built-in Lenovo app store.

Thirdly, the innovation of ideapad U1 lies in it’s the first dual-mode notebook in the IT industry. You can use it as ordinary notebook and when you need, you can detach the screen to use it as a multitouch tablet. This innovation is of great revolutionary significance for it well realizes the effect of one machine for dual-purpose and tells us we can take the notebook as the tablet PC.

Top Speed of Application Integration

Lenovo clear presentes its view on mobile Internet by announcing the three innovative products which also embodies the strong ability of application integration of Lenovo. Ideapad U1, for example, gives full play to powerful application for both modes of standard notebook and tablet PC. Both modes support 3G web browsing at least 5 hours and 3G stand-by time at least 60 hours and users can choose between longitudinal and lateral pattern to view and so on. These powerful integrative features let Lenovo’s products be actual innovative products not just good-looking.

LePhone also includes all the Internet applications. With LePhone, the users can not only make friends on SNS websites smoothly but also receive various important information automatically pushed by LePhone such as email, news, music, video and real time financial information. In a word, the functionality, the individuation and the interactivity of LePhone are noteworthy.

Of course, as a smartbook, Skylight has quite a few lightspots. Remarkably, Skylight further lowers the bound between handsets and netbooks. It is thinner than many smartphones with a weight of less than two pound and it is more convenient to take along than the ordinary netbooks. It lets you use the main applications like Gmail, Facebook and Youtube and you don’t need to worry about the machine swamped, for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon platform provides powerful mobile managing performance and lowers the power dissipation at the same time.

Actually, from Lenovo buyback of Lenovo Mobile and announcement of mobile strategy with three heavyweight products, we can get a conclusion that as mobile Internet is imminent and the future competition is bound to be more and more intense, those who want to take a share in this field or even get the first must take action at top speed.
