SlashGear JapanSometimes a gadget comes along that is so pretty that, when you realise it has a spec-sheet more barren than the Sahara, you can’t help but tear at your chest and roar. LG’s GD510 “Pop” isn’t quite so bad as all that, but it’s a handsome 3-inch touchscreen phone – the most compact ever with such a screen-size, they say – with a brushed aluminum body that throws out most of the things we take for granted in today’s handsets. WiFi we can live without, but a handset lacking 3G? For shame!

The great thing about mobile devices is that you can take them just about anywhere. Unfortunately, that mobility can also work against you; the more you carry something around, the more opportunities you have to break it. Fortunately companies like Tablet Kiosk build their systems to take a beating.
It’s perhaps a telling sign about the slightly conservative convertible Tablet PC market that Toshiba’s R400 gets so much attention. I doubt I’m alone in thinking that, if this were a simple notebook, it wouldn’t get anywhere near the cooing admiration and general pooling of drool.
