Oh man, does this look awesome or what? As soon as I touch down in Vegas for CES, I will make it my business to touch it all over and tell you how it felt. It’s got a 1.43″ touchscreen and a built-in camera for 3G video calls. But do you think we’re going to see its beautiful form stateside? Not likely. Our networks aren’t really ready for a bunch of videoconferencing 13-year-olds, so LG Korea is aiming this device at their home country and possibly Europe.

Once again we are not cool enough. It’s okay, we’ve got… monster trucks. And the Parthenon. Wait, that’s Greece. Damn!
