Lenovo to Focus on Tablets, Phones

Lenovo Group Ltd. will form a new business unit focused on mobile Internet and "digital home" devices, as it continues pushing to expand beyond its core personal-computer business.

PC and consumer electronics manufacturers have been invading each others' turf for some years, and the smartphone and tablet devices have emerged as growth areas for consumer electronics, so the move is no surprise.

Lenovo's Mobile Internet and Digital Home Business Group will make tablets, smartphones and devices for other categories like smart TV and cloud computing as well.
