Lenovo plans to introduce their first TV in Q1 2012. Lenovo’s LeTV will be a Smart TV with internet access, access to Lenovo’s cloud services and access to 200 gigabytes of cloud storage, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

Lenovo is obviously trying to create their own eco system to compete with Apple, Google and the likes. The LeTV is a piece in that puzzle and will be capable of sharing content with the other LeProducts.

No further details have been provided but we will keep you updated in 2012.
