LG officially unveils its new Chocolate, the BL40

LG officially unveils its new Chocolate, the BL40

LG officially unveiled the latest addition to its Black Label series, the BL40 Chocolate. A bit of deja vu as this handset has already starred in its own photo shoot and made its unofficial YouTube debut. The red-trimmed handset has a 4-inch wide screen 800×345 pixel display with a unique 21:9 aspect ratio, 5 megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lens, 7.2Mbps UMTS/HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi, and aGPS. As far as release details, unfortunately all we know about this sleek and sexy handset is that it will debut in Q3 2009 in 54 countries worldwide. All else aside, we can’t wait to see how typing on this bad boy works out considering how long and thin it is. Hit the jump for a few more press photos.

Gmail down for certain email accounts


I noticed gmail was not working and on a whim searched the news for “gmail down.” It seems I am afflicted by the same temporary service interruption that others have been seeing. Things were working fine until about 10 minutes ago.
I route a number of accounts to my primary gmail account and use it throughougt the day, almost every day. So it was a no-brainer to pour some money into more cloud storage. However, it is worth noting: paid or unpaid my account went down like the rest.
Since it is 10:30am, I’m not really upset about the outage–but article linked above does point out the important idea of forwarding copies of all mail you receive from gmail to a second, different cloud storage provider.
I shudder at the idea of using Yahoo or Hotmail even as a backup. Simply seeing these domains in people’s primary email addresses gathers up some initial judgment about the person’s basic computer saviness.
Email is like electric power. You expect it to be cheap and ubiquotous. For the rare times that there is a brownout in your neighborhood, it does make sense to look at having a full backup of mail destined for your gmail on a different service provider.
I just checked and gmail is working again for me. Back to it. I’ll spend some more time thinking about a backgmailup cloud for my gmails
