LG Vu rocks mobile TV and haptic feedback touchscreen

I got to play with the new LG Vu yesterday and was surprisingly impressed. It’s no iPhone when it comes to it’s interface, browser, or media functions; but it does have Apple beat in a couple of interesting areas.  1.  It’s 3G.  Nuff said.

 2. It has a haptic feedback display.  This eliminates the biggest drawback of having a touchscreen; the lack of feedback to let you know you actually clicked on something.  On the Vu when you touch an item on the screen, that part of the screen vibrates to let your finger know you clicked.  

3.  Mobile TV.  I was really impressed with the mobile TV offering and it’s performance.  It kicks both Verizon and Sprint’s TV ass easily.  Full touchable, scrollable program guide. Real channels you actually want to watch.  Channels loaded almost instantaneously and changing between channels was quick too.  Very slick.

The downside is this baby costs $500.

CRYSTAL CASTLES

Picture via Going.com

Went and saw Crystal Castles last night at Mercury Lounge on the Lower East Side.  HEALTH opened for them, and they were good, although the electro crowd didn’t care too much for the art-noise rock.  Crystal Castles were amazing, 40 solid minutes of non-stop strobe lights, glitches, beeps, and screams.  I recommend drinking a lot before you go see them though.

Korea’s MIU’s HDPC packs 4gb RAM and for under $500

<

Here’s the stats from Engadget:

• 4-inch, 800 x 480 pixel touchscreen display which slides out and flips over for the cellphone interface
• Up to a 1GHz VIA C7M ULV processor and 4GB of DDR2 memory
• Dual, Windows XP / Linux Qplus embedded OS
• Unspecified cellphone radio
• Maximum 1.3-inch 60GB hard disk (or 4GB SSD) and miniSD/microSD expansion
• 7-hour battery (or 90-hours at low power)
• 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0
• 2x USB, docking port, stereo speakers, QWERTY thumbpad and mouse
• What looks like a 5 megapixel camera
• DMB mobile television and external GPS add-on

All of this for $500 US. Yes, it may be a little chunky and brickish, but it’s got 4 gigs of RAM and runs two operating systems at the same time, does mobile TV, GPS, and takes sharp pics.  When its flipped over in ‘phone’ mode it looks retro-futuristicly awesome.    More pics and info at AVING USA

New sliding Blackberry gunning for the Sidekick tween market?

Blackberries have always been mundane, utilitarian business devices with little to no appeal for young people.  They’re more of a badge of adulthood;  receiving one means your dreams of youth have been squashed and you’re locked into a cubicle calculating expense reports.  RIM may be trying to change that image.  Check out these concept pics of a possible Blackbery 9000 series device with a slideout keyboard, a-la Sidekick fame.  There’s also a rumored optical touchscreen which RIM has supposedly been developing for a while.  If they emblazoned these with plastic diamonds and anime stickers the kids might just eat these up.
