LG Xnote P510 laptop dresses up for its debut

LG has made plenty of attempts to make its Xnote line stand out from the pack in the past, and it looks like its new P510 model is no exception, with it boasting a textured exterior, a rubber keyboard, and apparently even a bit of haptic feedback on the power button and some other controls. LG doesn't seem to be skimping when it comes to specs either, which include an LED-backlit, 15.4-inch 1,440 x 900 display, NVIDIA's new GeForce GT130M graphics, 2GB or 4GB of RAM, and your choice of three suitably high-end Core 2 Duo processors, not to mention both a 64GB SSD drive and 500GB hard drive on the top-end P510-UP98K model. No word on pricing or a release date just yet, but you can get a closer look at it by checking out the video after the break.

RC33 G1 firmware update gets detailed in full

We've already heard of one big new feature included in the RC33 firmware update for the G1, but with the update now trickling out into the wild, we've finally got the complete rundown of what's been added and fixed. Leading the list of additions is the ability to check for software updates, and receive automatic updates in the Android Market when an updated application is available. You'll also now be able to take advantage of Google Voice Search, save pictures received as MMS, and report comments in the Market as spam when you see fit. The update also apparently fixes some messaging stability issues, as well as a problem with a lack of reminders on calendar items, and a pesky issue that caused some G1s to hang at the G1 screen. Hit up the link below for the complete breakdown, and keep an eye on your handset for the over-the-air update.
