Lenovo has raised the curtains on its first attempt at a waterproof, Android-running smartphone, the Lenovo A660. As reported by zol.com.cn, Lenovo’s A660 smartphone is armed with an IP67 certification, translating to the fact that the phone is both waterproof as well as dustproof. The Lenovo A660 can be submerged up to one meter under water for almost 30 minutes at a stretch. To the effect, the word “Waterproof” is etched at the front-bottom bar on the phone.

The ICS-running Lenovo A660, according to the report, will be available in a range of colours. At the moment, however, there is no mention of the phone's price tag or its date of availability.
We recently reviewed the Xperia Go, another waterproof smartphone in the market. The product is IP67-certified, which means it is dustproof and waterproof up to one meter under water for almost 30 minutes at a stretch. The display glass is scratch-resistant and the back panel is watertight. The Xperia Go features a TFT capacitive touchscreen display measuring 3.5 inches with a 480 x 320 pixel resolution. It sports a 5MP camera and the Xperia Go is powered by a 1GHz NovaThor U8500 Dual-core Cortex A9 processor.
Lenovo, yesterday announced the launch of the world’s lightest business Ultrabook – the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, highlighting 20 years of ThinkPad innovation and kicking off the ThinkPad brand’s 20th anniversary celebrations. Made from carbon fibre, the X1 Carbon is the latest notebook from the ThinkPad stable. This new notebook features the latest 3rd generation Intel Core processor. It comes with Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 and Lenovo’s RapidResume and RapidConnect technology to enhance performance.
