Similar to that K91 TV we saw Lenovo tease back in January, its K71 brethren’s also stuffed with Ice Cream Sandwich, and according to the outfit’s online shop it’s ready to hit Chinese shelves by the end of the month. Along with running a flavor of Android four-dot-oh, this 42-inch smart TV is also packing an undisclosed 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, WiFi and 3D capabilities, plus a gaming remote control (you know, to use while playing TurboFly 3D). The K71′s said to be carrying a 6499 yuan (around $1,030) price tag once pre-orders go live on April 10th, while pricing and availability for the other expected models still remains unknown. Mum’s the word on when, or if, these ICS, LED TVs will ever come to US shores, but we’ll keep you in the loop if any news pops up. [Read More]

(Sound familiar?) In keeping with the motive to help developers grow their businesses, the program lets devs who utilize its services keep all the IP rights in their apps as well. AppCampus isn’t only preaching the Windows Phone gospel either, folks wanting to code for Symbian and Series 40 are invited, too. Of course, supporting such a program isn’t cheap, which is why both Microsoft and Nokia are kicking in 9 million euros ($12 million) each to make it happen. It’s a good start, guys, but you’ve got a long way to go. [Read More]
