Currently, le Pad has leapt to the second place in China's tablet market, topping the list of Android Tablet PCs in China. With the help of music PhoneA60, P70 and other products, Lenovo in the Chinese market set off a popular storm of smartphone, smartphone sales have exceeded 1 million a month. Though not as impressive as Apple's, it has a firm foothold in the mobile internet market.
China Software Industry association Embedded System Branch of the Deputy Secretary-General Yanhui, Lenovo's mobile interconnection strategy is successful, this advantage in the second half of this year has been reflected, Lenovo in the field of mobile interconnection has the most complete products of mainland companies, terminal technology does not exist too big problem.

The release of Lenovo's new mobile strategy is clearly different from last year's, and the new product has further enriched the mobile Internet strategy. Lenovo has said more than once that Apple should be used as a catch-up target. However, it is almost impossible for any it giant to challenge Apple with a single product. Lenovo is clearly aware of this.
The general trend let Lenovo step on the "cloud"
For Lenovo and Microsoft's "marriage", Sadie consultant President June analysis that the current IT industry's important influence includes two: first, cloud computing, China's cloud computing services market in the scale of more than 16 billion yuan last year, the second is mobile internet, so far, China Mobile (the number of Internet users has more than 400 million.
At present, more and more enterprises are trying to grasp the cloud computing and mobile Internet to bring great opportunities to the whole market, in order to pull the industry, including software industry service, service industry standardization. Lenovo and Microsoft are the representatives. Microsoft has launched the PAAs platform, Lenovo has not only maintained a rapid growth in the PC market in the last two years, but also tried to enter the mobile internet sector through Le phone. Based on this sense of industrial cooperation, in the future will not only bring the desktop Operation Service model innovation, but also for some important industry enterprises and individual consumer users to provide business value-added services, which also for the two enterprises in service transformation and business model transformation brings great opportunities.
Tech giants are now focused on cloud computing, and domestic companies are also starting to race in this area.

During 35, China's cloud computing industry chain scale can reach 750 billion to 1 trillion yuan. It is reported that China's "cloud computing Twelve-Five Development Plan" is under discussion.

In the PC industry, IBM has fully transformed IT services and achieved good results, which is a demonstration, and the current PC boss Hewlett-Packard and Dell, which has just been overtaken by Lenovo, are all in this direction. Although Lenovo's transformation is different from HP and Dell's PC giants, the evolution of the industry is consistent with the pursuit of new growth in the business. From this point of view, Lenovo Deep cloud services can be said to be a necessity.

Apple now has Macs, iphones, ipads, ICloud, and is said to be releasing smart TVs next year, and ICloud will be a bridge for Apple to get through all of its equipment applications. It is easy to see, Lenovo Mobile Interconnection strategy layout and Apple is the same.
"Each kind of mobile interconnection product, will have the rich product mix, comprehensively covers the high school low-end each segment market demand." Not only spring but also lowbrow. Lenovo's new chairman, Yang said. Industry insiders evaluate, Lenovo this battle is clearly aimed at Apple. However, compared with Apple's reliance on a single product, Lenovo began to target niche development to meet different market segments.
Lenovo's strategic direction is the mobile Internet no doubt, whether it is products, services, channels or brands, Lenovo's biggest advantage lies in localization. Lenovo PC is a household name in the country, but there is still a lack of mobile internet terminal brands. But the huge Chinese market space, enough to let Lenovo Dash. Mr Liu once said: "Lenovo has only one advantage, the Chinese market." "Lenovo's biggest advantage today remains the Chinese market.
