I still can't figure out whether this thing is a smarter-than-smartphone, a mini tablet, or a smartphone without the phone functions.... I'm so confused.

BTW Nokia's N900 is a fat boy. ]]>Jan 8th 2010 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/Thats the reason phones like n900, htc touch pro2 etc are fat.]]>Jan 8th 2010 1:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/
A couple years ago, Intel announced the MID concept by showing off some prototype designs, two of which had everyone talking for a few weeks. One of those was a wide screened device like the one here. (The other was a more standard tablet design, but the screen rotated 90 degrees into landscape orientation to reveal a thumb keyboard underneath.) At the time, Intel said that it wasn't just a concept, but rather that the device(s) would get built.

The LG GW990 is basically that Intel design for a MID, but in the form of a phone. It uses an Intel CPU and Moblin as the OS. Smartphones these days are basically MIDs that make phone calls. ]]>Jan 8th 2010 3:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/Jan 18th 2010 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/
I tried out the n900 for a full weekend and it left me mighty unimpressed , in fact I gave it back and kept my much superior HD2 , but this thing is mighty tempting though specially if is gonna run the latest androids or that mesmerizing new win7series stuff; but somehow I tend to favor the Dell 5 incher MID/smartphone.
I just hope that it makes it to the market first becouse I know that I'm gonna fall for the first one I can wrap my mitts around.
Well, unless it happens to show up with some glaring gap specwise or some awful reviews or both.]]>Feb 16th 2010 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/http://bit.ly/lg-gw990-concept-feature]]>Feb 16th 2010 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/Jan 7th 2010 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/

think for half a second about pirating music/files and you understand why it doesn't have a (btw, ugly looking) SD slot.

It also complicates the SYNCing process when you have all these different inputs. Why are you guys so obsessed with these clunky technologies. Just sync your camera to your computer via USB.]]>Jan 7th 2010 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/lg-gw990-hands-on/Hey, Jobs me, We dictate to the producer how we want to use our technology, not the other way round.
