LG have introduced a new thin and light notebook computer called the LG T280. The T280 has an 11.6 inch screen that can display a fairly high resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. The notebook is powered by an Intel CULV processor.

Two options of processors are being made available for the LG T280 which include a 1.3GHz Pentium SU4100 dual core CPU or a 1.3GHz Duo SU7300 processor. For graphics this notebook has the usual integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD chipset.

Memory and storage wise it has 2GB of RAM along with a 500GB hard drive for storage. Connectivity includes wireless 802.11b/g/n

Outputs on the casing reveal it has both a HDMI output and a VGA output. The battery in the T280 has 6 cells although exact numbers are not known just yet on how many hours of usage you’ll get from a single charge.

The notebook will run Windows 7 Home Premium when launched and will be on sale soon in Korea costing the equivelant of $1000. No details on if the T280 is coming this side of the world.

The actual unit it’s self looks fairly well designed. It doesn’t appear to have buttons on the trackpad (they will be built in) although the keyboard looks fairly large and very close to a full size QWERTY.

LG T280 Thin and Light Notebook

Last week we mentioned that someone had already started working on porting the HTC Desire ROM over to the Google [GOOG] Nexus One. At the time of writing that, the port wasn’t quite ready due to a few issues with memory allocations. We now hear that an Alpha version has been released.

As well as bringing Sense UI to the Nexus One, this Alpha release also brings flash 10.1 for Android to the phone. With it being in Alpha there are still a few niggles in the ROM that are still being worked out.

If you want to test out the Desire ROM on your Nexus One then you are in luck as some instructions have been created that take you through the process step by step. As always, just be careful not to brick your phone and do at your own risk.

To get the OS installed you need to root your Nexus One. Following that you need to get a recovery file, install that. Once installed you then need to get a copy of the HTC Desire ROM and copy it to the SD card for installation on to your Nexus One. Of course, these aren’t the full instructions but the basic outline of what needs to be done has been written. Full details can be found over at Redmond Pie.

HTC Desire ROM now Ready for Nexus One

The Nokia Research Center has another tech tease that gives us a glimpse into one of our many possible mobile computing futures. The so-called, Explore and Share concept starts by placing an N900 onto a "writer" that's tethered to a PC at a retail store. At that point, the PC recognizes the handset and serves up a number of options to the purchaser. For the purposes of the demo, an unnamed Finn selects an album that downloads to the handset in less than 10 seconds. Less than 10 seconds, wirelessly! If we assume that the 18 track Bruce Springsteen album is somewhere between 100MB and 200MB then we're looking at a 10MBps to 20MBps transfer rate. Nokia doesn't admit to what tech it's using, referring to it only as "a new radio technology." It's certainly not NFC which tops out at 424kbps, or Bluetooth 3.0 + HS which tops out at 3MBps. It also negotiates much faster than WiFi (though that could just be editing trickery). It's closer to Wireless USB's real-world data rates of around 15MBps or TransferJet's 375Mbps effective throughput. Or as a long shot, maybe Bluetooth 4.0 which targets 60Mbps (theoretical) transfer rates. Regardless, it's fast so we have to agree with Nokia when it deadpans: "Sounds great. Doesn't. It." Check out the action after the break.
