LG Shows Off 'Candybar' Shine Phone
LG has introduced a 'candybar incarnation' of its Shine slider phone, reports Reg Hardware and like the glamorous ISSE Monaco Phones from Nokia, it will only be available in Russia for a while.
It's unclear when the Shine Bar - as the non-slider is known - will make it to the rest of Europe and beyond, says Reg Hardware.
Expect it to pack in a 262,144-color, 240 x 320 display; a two megapixel camera with auto-focus; Bluetooth; 50MB of user-accessible memory; and a Micro SD slot for up to 2GB of add-in storage space.

Oscar Worthy Gadgets: The Dark Knight's Cell Phone Capers
One of my favorite films of last year, The Dark Knight unquestionably shines with the performance of Heath Ledger as the Joker, nominated for Best Supporting Actor. The film's up for a slew of other nominations that I'm really interested in because of their technical slants, like Best Cinematography, Film Editing, Sound, Sound Editing, and Visual Effects.
That's not just why the Batman sequel was a geek's dream; it featured the Nokia Tube as Lucius Fox's cell, and a couple pivotal scenes centered around cell phone communication as a plot device.
Who Is Your Favorite Celeb iPhone User?
The original iPhone was released in June 2007, but in 2008 Apple upgraded to the iPhone 3G and we witnessed more and more of young Hollywood testing out its touchscreen and apps. Brody Jenner showed off his iPhone on The Hills before his LG Shine commercial; singers Carrie Underwood, Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff and Jennifer Hudson presumably love easy access to iTunes; Katherine Heigl, Kelly Ripa and Megan Fox play with their iPhone on the set and streets, while Spencer Pratt and Whitney Port made their mini machines famous on The Hills.

The Hills Tech Quiz: Episode Nine, "If She Never Met Spencer"
Don't you just love episodes of The Hills when the girls shine and the guys are practically obsolete? So maybe Audrina is still dealing with the infamous Justin Bobby and Lauren just can't bear to mend a friendship with Heidi while she's still with Spencer, but all in all, there were some genuine girl talk moments. Just like the drama, the tech appearances also come in big waves, and last night's episode was no exception.
Mirrored iPhone: Never Have Spinach in Your Teeth Again
Not embarrassed to admit that I ooh-la-la'ed one non-tech spec about the LG Shine, which LC expertly demonstrated: the fact that it makes an awesome mirror. But since I don't need a new phone, I have found a way to make my iPhone do double-duty: the Echo mirrored iPhone case, just $13.
It doesn't look available for the iPhone 3G just yet, so 1st gen users, enjoy, and 3G users — just shine it up extra good for the reflection.
