LG Electronics has just announced a new addition to their product line-up with the launch of the LG X120 netbook. The first of its kind from LG, the LG X120 is designed to deliver the benefits of netbook functionality and give users a shortcut to the fun stuff with a new UI called Smart On.
"We created the LG X120 to allow consumers to stay connected on their own terms," said Ehtisham Rabbani, vice president of product strategy and marketing for LG Mobile Phones. "The Smart On(TM) button puts consumers seconds away from the fun stuff such as showing off your vacation photos or picking your fantasy football line-up."
Weighing only 2.8lbs, the slim LG X120 can offer users the computing power of a laptop with the freedom of a mobile device. Equipped with an innovative Smart On interface that’s supposed to load in seconds, the LG netbook connects to web and photos, instant messaging and the MP3 player with just the touch of a button. Designed with a white matte exterior and a blue trim, the company says that the LGX120 can deliver up to 7 hours of battery life and comes with built-in AT&T 3G wireless connectivity.
The LG netbook also features 1GB RAM and 160GB with a 10.1-inch LED backlit screen. A built-in 1.3 megapixel camera and HD stereo speakers are also on board. The LGX120 also includes a traditional start up feature booting the complete Windows XP Operating system.
The LG netbook will be available at select Radio Shack stores only in the US and online at www.RadioShack.com for Rs. 8,334 ($179.99) with a 2-year AT&T DataConnect service agreement, a $60 monthly 5GB plan. Maybe we’ll see an Indian version of the same. One can hope.

AppStore Duck Hunt Game Removed Due to Copyright Infringement
If you happen to be a classic gamer and an Apple iPhone or iTouch user who’s looking for those classic games for the device, you’ll be saddened to hear that the ‘Duck Hunt’ game has been pulled down from the App Store.
The game, by request of Nintendo, has been removed as the company is claiming copyright infringement. According to reports from MacWorld, Lucas Mansfield the App Store version game’s developer was asked to pull it down. The original game was developed by Lawl Mart for Nintendo. According to the report, an email was sent across to Mansfield urging him to pull it down.
Having complied, obviously as the game doesn’t exist anymore on the AppStore, Mansfield has decided to re-work the game, while trying to be as close to the original by Nintendo but editing out the more offending graphics and sounds the original AppStore version had embedded.
The AppStore version was priced at $0.99 cents which works out to about Rs. 48. Let’s hope the newer version won’t be costlier.

Motorola Backs Wimax Over 3G in IndiaMotorola Backs Wimax Over 3G in India
Telecommunications giant Motorola Inc., a Fortune 100 company, says that the newer Wimax technology scores over 3G in data transmission capabilities and that it's the broadband route India needed to take.
Wimax or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access is a non-cellular telecommunications technology, which like 3G has the capability to transfer data wirelessly over long distances.
But while 3G offers speeds in the range of 5.8-14.4 mega bits a second, Wimax has the potential to "deliver 70 mega bits over the same spectrum", a senior Motorola executive says.
"This technology enables better speeds than the standard 3G and even traditional broadband connections," Tarvinder Singh, Motorola India's head of marketing and product management, told IANS.
Incidentally, the Department of Telecom will auction the 2.1 GHz and higher spectrum band - which will support both the technologies - some time this month. And Singh says service providers winning the bids ought to opt for Wimax.
His assertion comes on the heels of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) inducting the Wimax technology as part of its 3G standard, the first non-cellular telecommunication technology to get ITU approval.
Researchers at Nokia-Siemens Networks and Heinrich Hertz Institute have showcased a futuristic 3G technology, the Long Term Evolution or LTE, which has a transfer speed of 100 mega bits per second.
But Singh is unimpressed. "Those who swear allegiance to 3G bank upon its development into LTE, which is still at a development stage and cannot be introduced before 2011 commercially," he added.
Singh said India couldn't wait till 2011 to provide Internet access and modern technology to its towns and villages. "We are already lagging behind other nations. Wireless broadband in the form of Wimax can solve the problem of building infrastructure for wired Internet access."
