We have been hearing every now and then about the development of Lenovo Constant Connect, but now this novel tie-up between RIM and Lenovo will soon become the cause of the $150m ExpressCard development. This ExpressCard will be slotted into any ThinkPad and it will automatically pull down if some email is sent to some BlackBerry through Bluetooth no matter if your laptop is utterly powered down or not.

The idea behind the creation of it is to make your inbox always available within 8 seconds of opening your device.  With its 500mb built-in memory and Bluetooth radio, you can pull down and send emails as long as your BlackBerry and the card are within 30f. Besides ExpressCard slot, you will also want to have a phone with Operating System 4.2 and higher. It has been designed to work in a better way with Outlook, Exchange, Gmail and POP.

As far as availability is concerned, the ExpressCard will be available via Lenovo and partners in the second quarter in the US. While those who live in some other parts of the world will have to wait till later half of the year for its release.
