LG Optimus 3D is one of the first Android 3D phones and continues to be one of the best 3D phone to own. However, if the hefty price tag of Rs 37,000 held you back from buying it, then there is a good news for you. The phone is now available for just Rs 19,990.

Optimus 3D is the first 3D smartphone from LG and does not require any special glasses to view 3D content and is based on Android 2.3 operating system.

With the Optimus 3D, LG has also introduced a number of innovative “first” technologies including world’s first 3D mobile camera to record 3D content, world’s first dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory architecture.

Interestingly, the price of the phone continues to hover in the range of Rs 28,000 to Rs 31,000 across stores. However, the online arm of The Mobile Store is offering it for just Rs 19,990. And at this price it sure is one of the best choices in this price bracket. For those buyers who do not wish to use online payment option, the retailer also offers cash on delivery option.

LG Optimus 3D has dual 5 megapixel camera at the back that allows users to capture and record images and videos in 3D. It has a 4.3 inch WVGA display that displays 3D content without the use of glasses. The display provides users to view 2D (up to 1080p) and 3D (up to 720p) multimedia content.

LG has given a unique 3D hot key to access the device’s 3D interface including gallery, camera, games, apps, YouTube 3D and 3D guide.

Captured 3D content can be shared via an HDMI 1.4 connection to 3D TVs and monitors and it is also compatible with DLNA certified products. Users can also upload and stream 3D content and share each other’s creations on YouTube’s dedicated 3D channel (youtube.com/3D).

All the normal smartphone goodies like WiFi , Bluetooth , 3G and expandable memory up to 32 GB are all present.

LG is also preparing to launch the next version of this phone called The LG Optimus 3D Max which will have better dual-core 1.2 GHz mobile processor. It will features same glasses-free 3D display as its predecessor (Optimus 3D), measuring 4.3-inch in size and supporting 480×800 pixel resolution. The phone will run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich when it launches in the second and third quarter of this year. LG has confirmed that it will launch 3D max in India as well along with the rest of the world.

Samsung’s recently announced flagship handset, the Galaxy S III, has been named as the official mobile phone of the upcoming London 2012 Olympic Games.

A limited-edition version of the quad-core device will be specially made for the prestigious sporting event, tying in with Samsung’s position as a major sponsor. However, the Olympic version of the phone won’t be going on general sale and will only be made available to sponsored athletes and selected trialists.

Visa Europe, one of the event’s main sponsors, will be fitting the special edition Galaxy S III with a version of its payWave app. The app uses the new device’s NFC capabilities to allow users to buy food, drinks and merchandise in and around the Olympic village using the many terminals being installed in the run up to the Games.

DJ Lee, head of Sales and Marketing at Samsung Mobile Communications, said: “The Samsung Galaxy S III has been created with our human needs and capabilities in mind and is the ideal device to showcase the ease and convenience of Visa’s mobile payment application at the London 2012 Olympic Games.”

Payments up to £20 can be carried out in this way but any larger amounts will have to be confirmed with a passcode for security reasons. By the time the Olympic Games begin in July there are expected to be 140, 000 compatible terminals in operation the UK.

After launching India’s first Android ICS tablet, Chennai based iBerry has now rolled out the Android Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for its older BT07i tablet.

The iBerry BT07i was launched in India last year after the launch of iBerry BT10 and the iBerry BT07 tablets. Infact, the company has recently launched the first Android ICS based tablet of India – Auxus AX02, for about Rs 10,000.

The new operating system is based on the stock Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 reference design and the appearance of the OS is pretty close to the stock Google Android 4.0 experience without many customisations. With Android ICS, BT07i tablet users will get a new and improved camera application that can be accessed directly from the standby mode with the help of the unlock key or the slider button.

Android ICS also brings an all new gallery application, a new people app, the ability to dismiss apps from the recently used menu, and a number of performance tweaks. Along with that users also get the benefit of better multitasking. Besides, the update is also expected to improve the battery backup of the device with the Android 4.0 ICS’s superior power management capabilities over the Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

The iBerry BT07i features a 7 inch, 800×480 pixel resolution display, a 1 GHz AM cortex A8 based processor, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of internal storage, front camera for video calling and connectivity through WiFi , and 3G dongles. Users can purchase the tablet from the company website (www.iberry.asia), for Rs 7,999 and they will get the tablet preinstalled with this upgrade.

Users will first need to put the update file, which amounts up to 250 MB of data, in the SD card of the device to upgrade the tablet. To get the update follow this link (http://www.iberry.asia/firmware/BT07i/BT07i-4.0.zip).

Nokia has announced a wave of new app releases, some of them exclusive to the Windows Phone platform, at the CTIA Wireless show currently underway in New Orleans, USA.

Microsoft has been pushing hard to attract new and existing developers to create apps for Windows Phone, and the steady increase to 80,000 available apps in the Windows Marketplace shows their efforts are succeeding.

Add in the pull of Nokia’s excellent Lumia phones, and it appears quite a few brands are eager to let the pair exclusively host their apps for a set amount of time.

Probably the biggest announcement comes from Rovio, who has confirmed it’ll be bringing Angry Birds Space to Windows Phone soon. No exact date was provided, sadly.

Electronic Arts will be adding a large number of games to the Marketplace, most of which appear to be ported over from other platforms, including FIFA, Mirror’s Edge, Madden NFL, NBA Jam and Tiger Woods PGA Tour.

Moving away from gaming brings us to PayPal, who has been developing a payment app ready for Windows Phone which will use a Live Tile to provide up-to-date account information.

Nokia has secured exclusives from sports network ESPN, whose app will display scores on a Live Tile, plus a separate Fantasy Football app too, both of which will be only available on Lumia phones until May 2013.

Golf fans will be treated to a PGA Tour app in June, where it will remain a Lumia app until this time next year, plus we can expect a Groupon app, an AOL Entertainment Hub featuring radio, movies and music, and finally, the motoring social network Tripdots too.

Release dates for all these apps appear to be between now and early summer, and the exclusives are another good reason to choose a Lumia Windows Phone.

Evernote, the famous note taking app on Android and iOS , may soon allow its users to create notes in the traditional way as they do using physical note pads. This will be possible as Evernote has acquired Penultimate, the most popular digital handwriting application for iPad. The acquisition will allow Evernote to expand its handwriting capabilities, while also making Penultimate available on more platforms and devices.

“Digital handwriting has been around for decades, but it has never gone mainstream because the hardware and software simply weren’t aligned. Thanks to Penultimate and the iPad, that’s all changing,” said Phil Libin, chief executive officer of Evernote.

“For the first time ever, writing on a tablet is really great, which is why we chose this moment to make the acquisition. We have big plans for Penultimate that will both enhance the app and bring more capabilities into Evernote. It’s already the best handwriting app out there, and it’s only just getting started,” Phil added.

The Penultimate app is designed to resemble a physical notebook. Individuals can use a finger or stylus to take notes wherever they like. The application allows users to choose from a variety of paper types, ink colours and line thicknesses. Notes taken in Penultimate can be saved directly to Evernote with a single tap.

“Technology often distances us from things that feel natural and human. With Penultimate, our goal was to use the most advanced tools to enable something that was at once powerful and familiar,” said Ben Zotto, creator of Penultimate. “I’m thrilled to join the Evernote family. Their vision and expertise will help bring exciting improvements to Penultimate, and together we’ll elevate the importance of handwriting within Evernote.”

As of now, the Penultimate is available for $0.99 (Rs 50 approximately) for iOS based devices from the iTunes App Store.

Unlike some previous editions of Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS 5 and iOS 5.1 haven’t seen a string of incremental updates, in which bugs are fixed and small features added.

While this could indicate the software is relatively trouble free, there are others experiencing problems who see this as an oversight on Apple’s part, as they’re forced to live with whatever issue has befallen their device.

However, last night Apple released iOS 5.1.1, which could solve some of these problems. According to the iTunes details, the new version improves the reliability of the camera software, specifically for HDR snaps taken directly from the lock screen, plus 2G and 3G switching on the new iPad, AirPlay bugs and a fix for the syncing of Safari’s bookmarks and the Reading List.

Unfortunately, there’s no mention of a fix for the new iPad’s Wi-Fi troubles, or its less-than-accurate battery meter, or the iPhone’s notification sound woes.

The update could be a whopping 800MB if you choose to download it through iTunes, so if at all possible, consider downloading using the over-the-air option, as here it only replaces those files that are needed on your particular phone, cutting the size down to a mere 45MB.

Although it’s not available at the time of writing, a direct download via Apple’s security page could also be used.

With Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference less than two months away, this could be the only update we’ll see to iOS 5 before our first look at iOS 6, which is widely expected to make its debut at the show.
