Computex 2011: LG V300 all-in-one PC with 3D multi-touch display and Core i7 CPU

LG has introduced a new all-in-one PC at Computex 2011, the V300, which is due to hit Korea in July, followed by other territories. With the V300, LG has managed to squeeze in a lot of technology into a tiny 1.8-inch thick frame.

It has a 23-inch display of the IPS FPR (Film-type Patterned Reader) type, and is capable of 3D output requiring only passive polarized glasses. Coupled with Colour Shift technology, it provides an impressive 178 degree viewing angle, even for 3D. It uses a triple camera system for accurate multi-touch capability.

The top-end configuration of the AIO has an Intel Core i7 Sandy Bridge processor onboard, combined with a 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6650M graphics card, 8GB of RAM, a 750GB hard drive, as well as a Blu-ray player.

Bearing and Intel Sandy Bridge processor, the V300 offers Wi-Di, or wireless display technology as well, apart from good old DLNA, to allow you to stream media between your AIO and TV, or other devices.

iOS 5, iCloud, OS X Lion Confirmed for WWDC 2011

As most who follow all things Apple, the iOS company is holding the Worldwide Developer Conference 2011 at Moscone West in San Francisco as usual and will start on the 6th of June and run until the 10th of June, and we now have word on what Apple will be announcing at their event.
According to the guys over on Ubergizmo, Apple has now posted a PR, which confirms that iOS 5, iCloud, which is Apple’s upcoming could services, and Mac OS X Lion will all, be unveiled during WWDC 2011.
According to the press release, Apple boss Steve Jobs and Apple execs will open the event with a keynote on the Monday, at 10.00AM, so does this mean that Steve Jobs will be making the WWDC 2011 keynote?
No doubt people are still holding onto hope that Apple might unveil the iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S that the iOS smartphone is being referred to more and more, but with no mention of either in the PR it does look rather unlikely it will happen, and the WWDC 2011 will purely be a software event.
