This makes by far the most sense. Wikipedia confirms that JTAG ports are for testing circuit boards, and it clearly says JTAG in the second to last photo, so it's definitely prototype hardware.

The big casing just contains the phone parts, spread out so they're easier to work with.]]>Jan 6th 2010 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-lte-packing-m13-spied-in-the-flesh-we-still-cant-tell-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-lte-packing-m13-spied-in-the-flesh-we-still-cant-tell-wha/

ding ding ding! and we have a winner! seems pretty obvious to me. i think engadget is just hoping for something a lot more interesting than an LTE handset, even though that is relatively interesting in its own right.]]>Jan 6th 2010 9:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-lte-packing-m13-spied-in-the-flesh-we-still-cant-tell-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-lte-packing-m13-spied-in-the-flesh-we-still-cant-tell-wha/Jan 6th 2010 9:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-lte-packing-m13-spied-in-the-flesh-we-still-cant-tell-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-lte-packing-m13-spied-in-the-flesh-we-still-cant-tell-wha/Jan 6th 2010 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-lte-packing-m13-spied-in-the-flesh-we-still-cant-tell-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-lte-packing-m13-spied-in-the-flesh-we-still-cant-tell-wha/Jan 6th 2010 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-lte-packing-m13-spied-in-the-flesh-we-still-cant-tell-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-lte-packing-m13-spied-in-the-flesh-we-still-cant-tell-wha/You just put your smartphone inside the laptop shell when you need a keyboard and a bigger screen.

This seems quite reasonable. At first glance the device on the top looks integrated, not removable. The odds of this being a netbook of some type are very slim. Closer examination yields that the SIM slot and USB cover are directly over where the upper and lower halves of said netbook would open. The phone looking device on the top is most likely to give a friendly user interface with the inner workings of the modem/router, while also incorporating hands-free voice services as well.]]>Jan 7th 2010 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-lte-packing-m13-spied-in-the-flesh-we-still-cant-tell-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/lgs-lte-packing-m13-spied-in-the-flesh-we-still-cant-tell-wha/

2) Goes the other way - a femtocell or picocell kind of substitute for a LTE cell tower for places where the network has no coverage, which is just about everywhere. Input a broadband network cable or WiFi and get cell coverage.
Those are my guesses. ]]>Jan 7th 2010 2:45PM
