T-Mobile G-Slate Launching In March, Can Capture 3D Content

First the Motorola Xoom, second the T-Mobile G-Slate with LG. 1 GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, 8.9-inch display, 32GB of internal storage, gyroscope and accelerometer, stereoscopic rear-facing video cameras capable of full 1080p 3D capture, one of which is a 5 megapixel still camera with LED flash, a third 2 megapixel camera up front for video chat, and glasses required for viewing said 3D content. T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network or WiFi are your choices on the G-Slate for getting connected. You can also port 1080p video over HDMI to any external display that supports 1080p.

LG Says Windows Phone 7 Debut Wasn’t As Awesomesauce As Expected

LG came out on this slow news day to say one thing (using many words) to Pocket-Lint, and that’s the only negative data seen for Windows Phone 7. Mostly stating that the OS is easy to use (fact) and has a very large market share it could reach (probably), but for the major techies (yours truly) can become boring (also fact).  To continue what LG is saying here, I can reference them: “From an industry perspective we had a high expectation, but from a consumer point of view the visibility is less than we expected.” A sort of “so-so” remark, right?

And that also:

LG has been closely collaborating with Microsoft from the beginning. What we feel is that it is absolutely perfect for a huge segment out there. What we feel is that some people believe that some operating systems, mainly Google, are extremely complicated for them. But Windows Phone 7 is very intuitive and easy to use.

And he’s not finished talking yet:

For tech guys like us it might be a little bit boring after a week or two, but there are certain segments that it really appeals to. We strongly feel that it has a strong potential even though the first push wasn’t what everyone expected.

Personally, Windows Phone 7 is like Android 1.0, but stylized as Android 3.0, and using handsets that came from Android 2.1. If that made any sense, it means that Microsoft needs better handsets, and hopefully, will get more sales. Or more marketing.

LG Revolution And HTC Thunderbolt With 4G LTE Debut

It’s LG’s first 4G LTE handset, on Verizon Wireless and the first device detailed on stage at Verizon’s CES 2011 press conference, dubbed the LG Revolution, and uses Optimus UI with Android 2.2. The HTC Thunderbolt, being the second seen on stage, has a front-facing camera, hotspot capabilities (the Thunderbolt supports up to 8 devices), and 4G LTE as well (like the Revolution). Most of the devices including the Motorola Xoom tablet, the Droid Bionic, LG Revolution, HTC Thunderbolt, and others will launch in March till the middle of this year with the 4G LTE netowkr.

Starting off specs, the HTC Thunderbolt. It has a loaded (but not dual-core) build: 4.3-inch WVGA Super LCD screen, HTC Sense 2.0, 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, Dolby surround sound, 8-megapixel camera and HD video recording, wireless DLNA capability, front-facing camera and Skype video chat baked into Sense UI.

The LG Revolution is another big super/smartphone, has Dolby surround sound, an 8-megapixel camera with HD video recording, wireless DLNA capability, Android 2.2, and hotspot mode up to 8 devices on 4G LTE.

Press release at the end of the post!

LG Announces Optimus Black, And A Shiny NOVA Display Just For It

Heard of the NOVA display? No? Well, it’s another shiny display for smartphones, and this time, has 700 nits of brightness (my eyes!) and 15% less energy consumption on the 4-inch screen size. There’s also allegedly the title of “world’s thinnest smartphone” for the Optimus Black, measuring a scary 9.2mm thin (.1 of a mm less than the iPhone 4) and weighs 109 grams, a 1,500 mAh battery, 2 megapixel front-facing camera and 1080p HD recording main camera of unknown resolution, along with Android 2.2 (LG Optimus UI 2.0 overlay) and Gingerbread finding its way to the Black in the future. The Optimus Black will be launched in the first quarter of 2011, and more details are still coming in (about that and specs). Full presser after the break.

A Windows Phone 7 Review Right Before The New Year

After much waiting and anxiety, one of my flying ninjas was able to send a Windows Phone 7 device my way, and the review is up two days before New Year. The new mobile smartphone platform is aimed at being Microsoft’s new entry into the smartphone market, with many original design elements, and an easy-to-understand user interface. As an Android and iOS fan, I can be extremely straightforward: it feels better than Android, and provides direct competition. Read on, and see why.

LG Optimus U Review: Like Every Other Optimus Phone, Duh

The Optimus line series of Android 2.2 Froyo phones are cheap, built mainly out of rubber and plastics, all have low-end processors (but little lag), 3.2-inch screens with multitouch, feisty little 3.2 megapixel cameras with 480p recording, and are the best entry-level Android phones you can buy today. The user interface is mostly unharmed except for the goofy app launcher, and that means everything except Flash will work as you’re using Froyo. It’s pretty good.

I actually prefer the Optimus U’s profile and the button layout rather than the Optimus T from T-Mobile, and just about every other Optimus phone on almost all the well-known carriers in the U.S (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Metro-PCS (a.k.a metro-crap). As of the time of this post, the Optimus U is available free on a 2-year contract with U.S. Cellular, which my friends over there gladly sent a review unit of.

To actually read a full review (since that’s why you’re reading this post, right?), then here’s the Optimus T one. It’s the same stuff, except it doesn’t have a different button layout, CDMA instead of GSM, some U.S. Cellular apps and their own wallpaper.

LG Makes An Android Called Optimus 2x, And It Has Tegra 2 For Extra Pwnage

LG. Android 2.2 (2.3 hot on heels after launch). Nvidia Tegra 2  processor at 1GHz. 8GB of on-board storage (up to 32GB with  microSD). A 1,500mAh battery. 4-inch WVGA display. HDMI-out on 1080p HD. An 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD recording and 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera. And hopefully a battery life of 20 hours.

Those are the specs for an LG Optimus 2x, previously codenamed “Star”. This is, the most awesome sauce Android phone I’v seen in a press release. Damn, that Nexus S looks old now doesn’t it? It’ll launch in Korea next month, then Europe and Asia. No word on a U.S release, but when you see smoke, there’s usually a fire, and CES 2011 should bring plenty of these awesome smartphones. PR after the cut. Via: Eng
