HTC's HD2 is a near perfect combination of physical hardware and silicon that delivers impressive performance on a device that's surprisingly sleek given the display's massive 4.3-inch exapanse. Even Microsoft's much maligned Windows Mobile 6.5 is expertly masked by HTC's Sense interface. So it's easy to understand the anticipation felt by the HD2's first US release, questions of a Windows Phone 7 OS upgrade path notwithstanding. T-Mobile has the release honors and is now showing the HD2 as "coming soon" in its phone inventory. We've also got the first "in the wild" shots courtesy of TmoNews showing that big Blockbuster shortcut linked front and center for downloading On Demand movies directly to the device. Still no firm price or date but $199.99 on contract ($449.99 unlocked) sometime around 24 March sounds about right. One more shot with official T-Mobile branding after the break; the rest at the source link below.

An 11.6-inch display fit within a thickness of 17.5mm. Sure, we're mixing up our measurement systems, but whichever way you slice it, the X300 is one extremely thin device. LG has now announced that availability in the Asian, Middle Eastern and South American markets will be forthcoming this month, though all we know on the topic of price is that it'll "vary country-by-country." With up to 2GB of RAM, integrated 3G, and a 128GB SSD option on tap, we'll even forgive the inclusion of a 2GHz Menlow CPU (Atom Z550) that places the X300 closer to Sony's VAIO X than the Core 2 Duo-driven MacBook Air that it aspires to be associated with. Check out our hands-on pics over here while we wait, hope and pray for a release on more familiar shores.
Update: We've now come across LG's Korean pricing, which is set at 1,590,000 Won ($1,424).

First, pictures appeared on a children’s art school of a new comedy movie titled “玩转大明星,” or “play big celebs,” with singer-actor Wang Leehom, Super Girl 2009 Zeng Yike, and TV host Chen Handian. Fans visiting also said that they saw actress Crystal Liu Yifei on the set. For this movie, not only has Wang Leehom dyed his hair, but he’s also wearing a hippie shirt. Furthermore, this will be both Zeng Yike’s first movie and Liu Yifei’s first project in a long time (her last TV series/film was Forbidden Kingdom in 2007).
Then, sina released news that the movie's title was undecided and that the director in fact, is Leehom himself. The movie, which stars Crystal Liu Yifei, begun filming mid-February in Shanghai. In the movie, he plays two roles - one of a big celeb Du Minghan and another an ethnic minority. Leehom wants the movie to both bring joy and a deeper message to the audience.
