Lenovo replaces Dell to become world's second largest PC maker
English.news.cn 2011-10-13 12:59:59
HONG KONG, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- Computer and electronic device maker Lenovo, listed in both Hong Kong and New York, has replaced Dell to become the world's second largest personal computer company, Lenovo said Thursday.
Lenovo made the remarks in a statement, citing figures released by International Data Corporation (IDC), a global provider of business intelligence for the consumer technology market.
Following five quarters as the fastest-growing PC maker among the world's top vendors, the preliminary IDC data reported that Lenovo has achieved record market share of around 13.7 percent and record quarterly shipment volume of some 12.6 million units.
Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing said his company had surpassed two competitors to capture the No. 2 spot in worldwide PCs in just two quarters and it was the highest rank that Lenovo has achieved in worldwide PC sales.
Given current competitive environment, the new achievement positioned Lenovo as a strong challenger to ultimately become the global market leader, Yang said in the statement.
"We are growing in the enterprise and the consumer space. And our customers know we are fully committed to the PC market for the long term," he said.
At the same time, the Chinese multinational would continue investing in innovative products that would help drive the convergence of technologies and services across all four screens -- smart phones, tablets, PCs and smart TV, Yang said.
"We must deliver a great user experience across all platforms to achieve our goal and become the leading personal technology company in the world."
Lenovo is a personal technology company and a global Fortune 500 company with annual sales worth 21 billion U.S. dollars. It serves customers in more than 160 countries and regions.

Huawei P1S Smartphone is Crazy Thin
January 9th, 2012 by: Shane McGlaun
If you like your smartphones to have cool features and a cool design, the new Huawei Ascend P1 S might get your motor revving. The smartphone is hailed as the “world’s thinnest” and I can believe it at
6.68mm thick. You could stand that thing up sideways and have a hard time finding it.
(Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the world's thinnest smartphone...the Huawei Ascend P1 S!)
The smartphone runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and has Gorilla Glass over the top to make it stronger. The screen is 4.3-inches wide and has 960 x 540 resolution. The processor is a dual-core 1.5GHz TI OMAP 4460. The smartphone runs an 1800mAh battery and should last a long time. The device is not that wide either at 64.8mm.
The P1S smartphone will be offered in white, black, and pink colors. The rear camera is an 8MP unit and the front is a 1.3MP camera. The rear camera can capture 1080p video. If this thing floats your boat, it will hit the US in April. What carrier will have it and how much it will cost are unknown."

Huawei Unveils Industry’s First Giga DSL Prototype
Mariah Lawson on 12 19, 2011
Can Achieve Access Rate of One Gbps per Twisted Pair
Shenzhen, China,
Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) provider, today announced that it successfully launched the industry’s first Giga DSL (Digital Subscriber line) prototype. The Giga DSL system employs time division duplex (TDD) to achieve a total upstream and downstream rate of 1,000 Mb/s over a single twisted pair.
In order to address obstacles related to limited bandwidth of FTTB (Fiber to the Building)/FTTC(Fiber to the Curb) and difficulty in deploying FTTH (Fiber to the Home) drop cables – so that users can enjoy bandwidth-hungry services such as IPTV and HDTV – optical fiber access points need to be located closer to users. While, 100 Mbp/s-plus ultra-broadband access can be made available relatively quickly by utilizing legacy copper line resources, providing 1,000 Mbp/s bandwidth within 100 meters of twisted pairs using DSL technology is more complex.
By using low-power spectral density in-signal transmission, Huawei’s Giga DSL prototype reduces radiation interference and power consumption, and provides a total upstream and downstream rate of one Gb/s within 100 meters, and 500 Mb/s-plus within 200 meters – making it a cost-effective option for telecom operators building ultra-broadband access networks.
Giga DSL is a next-generation access technology solution that's growing quickly. In 2011, ITU-T set up a G.fast project team dedicated to formulating new standards for ultra-speed access at short distances, the aim being to achieve 500 Mb/s access rate per twisted pair within 100 meters. Huawei has actively participated in the work of the team and has become a major technical contributor, having recently worked to incorporate TDD-OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) as a G.fast modulation mode.
Dr. Long Guozhu, Huawei’s Principal Expert of DSL technology, said, “Huawei has taken the lead in developing a Giga DSL prototype because of our rich capabilities and industry-leading technical strengths in access networks. It was inevitable that spectrum expansion would help us improve the rate of a twisted pair at a short distance, but after the spectrum is expanded, a technical issue appears: how to design the high-speed physical layer and high-frequency analog front end (AFE). To tackle this issue, Huawei’s FBB Innovation Lab used the core solution TDD-OFDM, which simplifies the physical-layer architecture and the AFE design, while at the same time makes it possible to be downward compatible with traditional ADSL/VDSL2 technologies.”
Huawei also recently announced the successful development of the world’s first node level vectoring (NLV) prototype. Huawei’s vectoring product provides 100 Mbps access over a single twisted pair in FTTC/FTTB, and has been tested and commercially trialed with many leading telecom operators. This, along with the company’s latest prototype, Giga DSL, signifies that DSL technology still has great potential to meet the requirements of broadband users for ultra-high-speed access in the future.
Huawei’s advances within Giga DSL will enhance the capabilities of the company’s SingleFAN broadband access solution. Its SingleFAN solution and related offerings are now servicing over one third of the world’s broadband users with ultra-broadband access services."

Multimedia experience has also been given priority in this set. The 3D television has an SRS TruSurround XT technology inbuilt that provides surround sound with theatre like simulation. It is also provided with 3 HDMI connections allowing users to connect the set with various other gadgets and speakers thereby giving it a true surround feel.
Another interesting feature given into new Haier 3D television is the USB 2.0. Using this port, hard drives, pen drives and flash drives can be connected. As a result, now one can listen and view his own songs and videos through the USB.
Consumer durables market worth Rs 20,000 crores in India is the prime target of Haier. And, with sources revealing that this coming July will see a new Chinese executive into India as the CEO of the company, Haier is probably thinking of making some adjustments with the management. The new 3D television and all new products require an effective technical knowhow and Haier seems to be in line with this thought. The company is worth $12.8 billion and if market assessments of experts are to be believed, then Haier will continue to produce such innovative technology-led products this year."
