LG marks belated Android entry with GW620 UK launch
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/lg-marks-belated-android-entry-with-gw620-uk-launch/
Hey, you know what's hot right now? Android 1.5. You know what else? Resistive touchscreens and chunky bodies, the ladies just can't get enough of them. Good thing too, since in some alternate universe where the Motorola Droid, HTC HD2 and the Nexus One existed, this LG GW620 -- hereafter to be known as the InTouch Max -- would look like it's arriving about a year too late to matter. A phone that's been teased and promoted since September, it has finally found homes on Virgin Mobile and T-Mobile in the UK, where unwitting victims can have it forced upon them for free when they sign up to long-term contracts costing at least £20 ($32.50) per month. Hit the source link for more details, if you must.LG marks belated Android entry with GW620 UK launch originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 18 Jan 2010 09:29:00 EST.

The Motorola Shadow: a Droid For the Light Side? [Shadow]
There's not a whole lot that's certain about these images, which popped up at Mobile01, showing Motorola's Shadow as a friendlier-looking Droid. But they're interesting.
These aren't the first rumors that have trickled out about the Motorola Shadow. One leak, a few weeks ago, pegged it as having a super-thin body and a 4.3-inch, 800 x 484 screen. These renders, of admittedly dubious provenance, suggest a more Droid-like form factor, except with a white keyboard and wrist strap.
Mobile01 also suggests that the Shadow could be a candidate for the next official Google Phone and thus the designation of Nexus Two. Maybe, but it seems a little too early for Google to be picking the Nexus One successor. And what of HTC? [Mobile01 via Engadget]

Dell Froot Concept Design Does Away with Keyboard, Monitor [Concepts]
With the environment and sustainability firmly in mind the Dell Froot concept saves the planet courtesy two projectors: One for the virtual keyboard, and another for the monitor.
Designed by Pauline Carlos as part of a sustainability contest sponsored by Dell, the Froot also uses a colorful case that's constructed out of a biodegradable starch-based polymer. As it's a futuristic concept, the lack of a mouse is understabdable—we'll no doubt be using our brains by then.
More seriously, Pico projectors are *almost* there, but not quite, otherwise I'd be asking why this is still just a concept. [Behance Network via technabob via OhGizmo]

Motorola Shadow is Nexus Two with sliding QWERTY keyboard?
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/16/motorola-shadow-is-nexus-two-with-sliding-qwerty-keyboard/
Fan-made render? Very possible, but we're intrigued by the notion. The gang at Mobile01 have laid out two more photos of what is being called the Motorola Shadow (not to be confused with the T-Mobile Shadow), which in a nutshell looks like Droid / Milestone with a white keyboard and wrist strap. Even more interesting is the assertion that this could be Google's next flagship device, here lovingly dubbed the Nexus Two. Now while there is no way to corroborate at this point, we could totally buy this as feasible. After all, what better way to complement the Nexus One slate than with one with physical QWERTY? And who better than the company whose Android 2.0 device increased the platform's mindshare at supersonic speeds, with a CEO willing to signify support even at the launch event for a competitor's product? Color us curious -- wrist strap-laden render after the break[Thanks, Serge]

Create Link Formats Link Text for Faster Copying [Downloads]
Chrome: If you're someone who copies and pastes a good number of URLs and text every day, Create Link extension for Google Chrome is a must-install extension. It's a semi-equivalent to Firefox's mighty CoLT add-on.
The missing element that makes Create Link a "semi-" equivalent to the link-prepping, time-saving powers of CoLT, and even its direct Firefox inspiration, is that Create Link only works from its Chrome toolbar button. That means it grabs the title and URL the page you're currently on, rather than letting you grab the link text and URL from links you right-click on the page. That's more of a Chrome extensions deficiency than Create Link's own fault, but it must be pointed out.
Create Link is, however, open-ended in how you format your links, allowing you to prepare text for blogging, forums and bulletin boards, and anywhere else you need to write in HTML style or paste in URLs or page titles. It's a free download, works wherever Google Chrome extensions do.

Foodspotting Catalogs Delicious Dishes [Food]
Source: http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/lifehacker/full/~3/SUYRqB8Rjek/foodspotting-catalogs-delicious-dishes
If you like documenting a good meal and enjoy checking out the delicious culinary delights other foodies are finding, Foodspotting offers a platform for cataloging and browsing delicious eats from around the world.
Foodspotting was founded on the idea that it's more about a good dish than it is about the entire restaurant. Rather than review entire establishments, Foodspotting focuses on delicious dishes and where you can find them.
After signing up for a free account at Foodspotting you can browse entries by other amateur food photographers and critics, search for entries by name or geographic location, and flag food "Nom It" if you've eaten it and approve of the food and "Want It" if you're craving it. In addition to name and location-based search you can browse the most popular food by the number of people who have given it their approval or put it on their wanted list.
Foodspotting is currently only accessible via their website, although according to their FAQ file an iPhone app is slated for this quarter. Foodspotting is a free service that requires a basic registration. Have a favorite tool or service for finding great meals? Let's hear about it in the comments.

Root Coverage Offers Detailed Crowd-Sourced Cellular Coverage Maps [Cell Phones]
The coverage maps provided by cellphone companies don't really tell you all that much about the quality of the coverage they offer. If you'd like a real-world look at coverage, you can check out Root Coverage.
Root Coverage takes data from actual users and compiles it into hexagonal overlays that provide a variety of information about the map you're looking at. You can check not only signal strength but also the quality of the data connection and transmission rate. You can also switch between map view, aerial view, and topographical view—handy for seeing if that odd deadzone here or there is caused by odd geographic features.
Root Coverage is a free service. You can currently check the coverage in several major US markets like New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington D.C., and more. You can also sign up to participate in currently mapped markets or to be alerted when the service is rolled out where you live.
If Root Coverage doesn't cover your locale currently, you might want to check out similar services like previously reviewed GotReception, DeadCellZones, and SignalMap. Have your own trick or tool for making sure you're getting the carrier with the best coverage in your area? Let's hear about it in the comments.
