LG Sentio priced, dated for T-Mobile
Actually, T-Mobile will do you one better than merely putting a date on the release of the low-end Sentio touchphone -- they'll just go ahead and release it today to make it the carrier's first LG phone ever. That's right: you can now pick up the Sentio in-store and online for $69.99 on contract after $50 mail-in rebate, giving you a trio of threes -- 3-inch display, 3 megapixel cam, and 3G data -- as long as you're happy with a soft-touch blue finish, which is the only option at the moment

MeeGo for handsets makes its first appearance
As promised , Nokia and Intel have revealed the pre-alpha version of MeeGo for handsets today, supporting the Intel-powered Aava reference phone and the Nokia N900 . What's most interesting at this early stage is the UI, which appears to have taken a big Nokia-influenced step away from the Intel-designed MeeGo netbook and tablet UI -- and we're definitely detecting some hints of Android and webOS here and there.
