Full FeedLG demos the X120 netbook at the Mobile World Congress
We got to give it to LG for bringing their new netbook, the LG-X120 at the ongoing Mobile World Congress. Whereas everybody else is launching new mobile phones, LG demoed its netbook instead. But we certainly understand the logic for this.
LG wants to market the X120 netbook as part of the mobile world, plain and simple. And what better time to show off a device being marketed as a mobile device but during an event where mobile phones take center stage. So, if our previous hands-on report about the LG-X120 left you longing for more information about this new netbook, let’s dig deeper into LG’s announcement and see what more new things we could get from it.
Acer launches its Tempo Smartphone Series
Acer has already proven that it has what it takes to divert from the traditional PC market with the company’s successful Aspire One netbook. Now it wants to prove that it can do the same in the mobile phone market as it launches the Acer Tempo Smartphone series. And boy, they do know how to do it with a bang by announcing not just one, but four new smartphones in the series - the X960, F900, M900, and DX900 with all four touting WVGA touch screen features.
Now this may be a handful of new mobile phones for a starter, but are these devices different from one another? Of the four it’s quite obvious that the M900 and the DX900 are the more promising devices. The M900 is a Windows Mobile phone running version 6.1 while the DX900 has a dual-SIM slot for additional functionality and convenience. Of course, with Windows Mobile 6.1 running on the M900, we don’t have to tell you that you can do a lot of mobile office computing using the phone. The DX900’s dual-SIM slot would let you load both 3.5G (HSDPA) and 2.75G (EDGE) SIM cards. Both the Acer M900 and DX900 would surely appeal to users whose levels of mobile phone usage vary from personal to business functionality.
Two new Nokia E-series phones come with new email interface
At the ongoing Mobile Web Congress, Nokia unveiled two E-series smartphones - the E75 and E55. The Nokia E75 is the successor to the highly popular E71 which was released last year, while the Nokia E55 is a follow up to affordable smartphone E51. Both these mobile phones are said to be loaded with Nokia’s new email interface which according to Nokia give a more efficient corporate email solution. This is a feature which made the BlackBerry devices successful in conquering the corporate mobile phone users.
Nokia has partnered with Microsoft and Lotus Notes to make this possible. And while we’re at it, the said email interface would have folder and HTML email support, expandable views and sorting capability by date, sender and size. Yes, something similar to the email experience that you have on your desktop. In addition, the new email interface would also have improved calendar functionality, contact and task management.
