LG 3D Tablet Release !!!!!!!!!!

Here is some great news surrounding LG’s new Optimus Pad (which has not been launched globally yet), according to an LG Senior Executive, India could be receiving the 3D tablet in June.

The Optimus Pad is believed to be priced around the Rs 30,000 and Rs 40,000 mark. However, LG Electronics business head for mobile communications, Vishal Chopra, has indicated that dependant on import duties and currency valuations the price could be less than Rs 30,000 at time of launch and that around the end of May, he will be in a better position to clarify the price.

Please note that because of price sensitivity in India the iPad has dropped in price from around Rs 28,000 in January to Rs 27,390 in April and Samsung had to bring the price of their Galaxy Tab down to Rs 29,299 from Rs 38,000. Therefore, this could have a bearing on Optimus Pad’s price when it is released in India.

HSN confirms Nook Store, Android 2.2, Flash, push e-mail for Nook Color review!!!!!!!!!!

Android 2.2, Adobe Flash support, push e-mail and an app store will upgrade Barnes & Noble's Nook Color e-reader to tablet status with a mid-April software update.

At the end of last week, a Home Shopping Network product listing for Barnes & Noble‘s e-reader, the Nook Color, revealed that a coming update would bring apps to the device via a Nook Store and Flash support. The listing was later edited to remove any specific mention of Flash, but that didn’t stop observers from hypothesizing that this meant the device would be getting a major update for its Android operating system.

The details of the upgrade, which is planned for mid-April, have now been confirmed by the television network in a product demo broadcast, Engadget reports. Flash is indeed coming to the device, along with an app store — Angry Birds is confirmed — and push e-mail, ushered along by an OS update to Android 2.2. HSN customers will apparently be first in line to receive the update, which presumably means that anyone who buys one there will receive their device with everything pre-installed. It should be noted, however, that the HSN price of $299.99 is $50 more than the B&N online and in-store price of $249.99.
