Lenovo developing more Android phones

From InfoWorld: Lenovo's work on mobile phones with Google's Android OS is focused on its high-end Lephone handset, but the company also wants to reach other price points, a company executive said Thursday.

Lenovo is likely to move in that direction in the second half of this year, Rory Read, the company's chief operating officer, said when asked about plans for more Android handsets during a financial results call. Lenovo last month announced the Android-powered Lephone, which it called key to its mobile strategy. The company has added a focus on mobile devices since reacquiring Lenovo Mobile, its handset division, from a group of private investors in recent months.

Read's comments came as Lenovo, China's top PC maker, reported higher sales and net profit in its third fiscal quarter, one year after announcing a major restructuring.

When asked if Lenovo was considering offering a service like Apple's popular App Store for downloading mobile applications, Read said Lenovo was working with companies across China on mobile Internet content for its devices.
