Lenovo and RIM have teamed up to launch a new mobile solution called the Lenovo Constant Connect for business users. This solution will enhance a user’s capability of performing business activities while on the go.
The Lenovo Constant Connect solution will provide users an unbelievable experience for flexible, real time access to enterprise-based email. The Constant Connect solution will automatically sync the enterprise emails received on BlackBerry smartphones to a user’s ThinkPad laptop via Bluetooth.
“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,” added Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing.
The optimized integration will help users to access email on the Lenovo ThinkPad laptop from anywhere. Boasting of greater flexibility and convenience, the new Lenovo mobile solution will also reduce the need to use a laptop with fee-based Wi-Fi connectivity.
“Lenovo is adding significant value for our mutual customers by developing tighter and more seamless integration between Lenovo ThinkPad laptops and BlackBerry smartphones,” says Jim Balsillie, Co-CEO, Research In Motion. “By leveraging the industry-leading, push-based connectivity of the BlackBerry solution, Lenovo Constant Connect will simplify email synchronization on the laptop and provide mobile professionals with greater flexibility to manage their email on the move.”
In addition to this, Lenovo is also planning to develop and deliver a wide range of industry-leading solutions. The solutions will enhance a user’s way of conducting business effectively on the go.
The Lenovo Constant Connect solution is expected to be available in Q2 of 2009 in US and some time later in 2009 around the world.
