LG makes things clear with the transparent GD900 mobile phone

April 2, 2009 The LG-GD900 mobile phone will feature not only a 3-inch full touchscreen,
but also a transparent touchpad that supports finger-writing recognition and vibrational
haptic feedback. The stylish looking phone features a slider form factor with the translucent
rear slider containing a touchpad that allows users to navigate through the phones features and

finger gesture. For example users could write an “M” on the touchpad

Windows 7-based Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet P1 announced

Along with a pair of Android 3.1-based tablets, Lenovo has unveiled its plans to 

release the 10.1-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet P1, powered by the 1.5GHz Intel Atom

and either 32GB or 64GB of internal memory (SSD),

costs about US$187 to produce, with previous generations falling generally between $170 and $180.
