The beginning bit of the review is bascially about LG and it's move into the subnotebook market of electronics.

Here's my translation of the article.:

Design:
It's nice and shiny, but it leaves fingerprints all over it so it's probably a good idea to get a skin/cover.
It's about 27.56mm thick at the front and at the back with the battery in it's 35.81mm. (I think that's just the normal battery, not the extended)
It has a thin wide screen 10.6" LCD screen and nice white palm rests.
The key pitch for a keyboard is very usable and it's nicely layed out.
The hinge that makes the screen swivel is sturdier compared to the LT20.

The pen is at the back and if you press it, it pops out a bit so that you can pull it our easily. But if you have big hands like the guy that wrote the article you might have some trouble getting that pen out.

There are 5 tablet buttons on the side of the screen. (enter, FN, esc, and 2 directional buttons)

It offers a lot of I/O things for such a small form factor. (CF slot, memory card reader, SPIDF, vga out, USIM) On the test model the CF card slot was labelled a PC card slot, but on the proper model it's going to be a CF card slot.

And that's the end of part 1.
Part 2 will review the other bits. (but I don't think there is a part 2, yet)
My phone reads out my text messages. If I redirected my emails to my phone via text messages I'd have the same thing!
blank media?

I've got a BETTER idea!!
Why not just poke everyone's eyes out and blow up everyone's ear drums? Oh don't forget to lobotomize everyone. This will mean that not even the human brain will be able to remember the content! ah ha!
The NV10 and NV7 look cool. The NV3 is starting to look common and not very intriguiging.
But I guess we'll have to wait for some proper reviews before we know if they're any good.
Windows CE 5.0?
Looks like a PDA replacement.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
