The world of wearable technology is fast expanding in every direction, although it remains to be seen just how far gizmos like a smartwatch or fitness band will be able to go. Lenovo, a name that is more often than not associated with computers and notebooks, is now linked to a potential wearable band, where it is called the Lenovo Smartband SW-B100. In fact, the Smartband SW-B100 is said to have shown up at the Bluetooth SIG website not too long ago, where it is known as an activity tracker.

Lenovo appears to be joining virtually every other consumer electronics company in the wearable space. An unannounced device called the Lenovo Smartband SW-B100 showed up at the Bluetooth SIG website recently, where it’s described as an activity tracker (so don’t expect a full-fledged smartwatch just yet). Meanwhile, the company appears to have a whole group of new tablets on the way, according to Indonesian regulatory site Postel. Postel shows listings for a number of new Lenovo tablets including Windows models such as the Lenovo Miix 3 (which will likely be a follow-up to last year’s Miix 2 Windows tablet), and the Yoga Tablet 2 (which will likely follow last year’s Android-powered Yoga Tablet. Most recently a new model called the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro arrived. It’s not clear if Pro means this will be a Windows tablet rather than an Android device, or if it will instead have premium or enterprise features such as a high-resolution display or fingerprint sensor.
