Chinese brand Motom may not be a very familiar name just yet but they’re hoping to change that with their latest GPS integrated tablet called M7.

Including its 7″ screen, the specs for the M7 are great as we’ll mention in a second, but only one thing caught our attention which we’d label ‘not-so-exciting’. The OS is Windows XP… Really guys?

But let’s just look beyond that and focus on the 1.3MP webcam, WiFi, 3G conectivity, HDMI port, multiple USB ports, 4800mAh battery, 1GB of RAM, and a 32GB SSD storage. Not bad huh?

Hopefully they can find a distributor here in the states so we can wipe that SSD drive clean and install Android OS on it… via

It’s another smartphone with some pictures leaked, although they’re blurry. The LG Arena Max LU9400 has attracted some attentions with its leaked pictures over the Internet but LG is still quiet about it.

From how it looks in the leaked picture, the LG Arena Max LU9400 has been emphasized with cute design elements that make it a charmer. It would come with a 5-megapixel camera, a 3.5-inch touchscreen display and sport WiFi, GPS capabilities and powered by the 1GHz Snapdragon processor.

No other further details yet about the specs and the image isn’t clear enough to show what OS it runs. No word on where and when it’ll be launched. The phone shows Cyon logo – LG’s Korean phone brand, which might hint it’d be launched in Korea only.
