Come tradizione vuole, prima di ogni importante manifestazione, ci sono sempre rumors ed anticipazioni e qualche volta anche degli annunci ufficiali: ieri Lenovo ha rilasciato un comunicato in cui annuncia l’arrivo della prima TV Android basata sull’ultima versione dell’OS di big G, la K91 Smart TV. Continua dopo il break.
Basata su sistema dual-core Snapdragon 8060, questa tv dovrebbe integrare una webcam da 5MP per videochat e un pannello display full HD IPS 240hz da 55″ corredato un impianto audio con SRS TruSurround, dunque specifiche di tutto rispetto a cui vanno sommate le features software (con una probabile personalizzazione pesante dell’Os Android) che sembrano promettere molto:
- Video on Demand
- Internet applications
- Traditional TV programs
- Access to the Android Market
- Access to the Lenovo Store
- Voice control
- Cloud support
Secondo il produttore asiatico, il rilascio dovrebbe avvenire entro Aprile di quest’anno in quel di Cina per poi proseguire in altri paesi. Lenovo va così ad aggiungersi alla lista dei produttori di android tv che dovrebbero svelare qualcosa nei prossimi giorni, ma questo sembra essere un annuncio del tutto inatteso!
Eccovi un video presentazione di alcune funzioni di questo apparecchio:
E questo è il comunicato Stampa concernente questo prodotto:
CES 2012, Las Vegas – January 8, 2012: Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY), the world’s number two PC company, is flexing its innovation muscle at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show and beyond, to create a seamless digital experience for its customers across multiple devices, be it PCs, tablets, smartphones or Smart TVs. Lenovo recently unveiled its “Personal Cloud” vision, marking the transformation of the company from a “personal computer” manufacturer to a “personal cloud solution” provider that integrates hardware, software and cloud computing together. The Company’s direction is evident in a variety of new products, including the IdeaTab S2, Smartphone S2 and K91 smart TV.
“Lenovo is breaking down the barriers of device differentiation and weaving together hardware, software and cloud services that are connected, experiential and dynamic,” said Liu Jun, senior vice president and president, Mobile Internet and Digital Home business group. “We understand our users need more than just the traditional keyboard and screen for a truly satisfying digital experience. Our Personal Cloud vision integrates all devices, from tablets to TVs, for a comprehensive mobile Internet experience anytime, anywhere.
K91—the World’s First Smart TV to Run Android 4.0 OS
As the world’s first smart TV powered by QualComm’s 8060 Snapdragon dual core CPU, the K91 is also the world’s first smart TV running the Android 4.0 operating system – which will revolutionize technology in the living room. Its smart “Sandwich” UI unites three major smart TV functions, including Video On Demand (VOD), Internet applications and traditional TV programs. The online HD VOD is tailored to individual consumers’ viewing history, and delivers the best picture and audio quality with 3D FPR technology delivering flicker-free video on a full HD IPS panel at 240hz with SRS TruSurround. Internet applications include thousands of choices from the Android Market and Lenovo Store, including console games. Additional smart TV features include voice control with natural language processing and speech recognition technology, allowing viewers to use voice commands to control the remote. Video interaction is even possible with the built-in 5MP webcam, which integrates face recognition technology for security benefits and advanced parental control. With cloud support, consumers can access their favorite songs and videos with ease, share files between the TV and their tablet, smartphone or PC, and even control the TV via tablet and smartphone.
The IdeaTab S2 tablet, S2 smartphone and K91 smart TV are available immediately in China. Lenovo will be releasing these products worldwide at a later date. More information on these products is available at www.lenovo.com
