We’ve used the LG KF750 Secret, the third model in LG Mobile’s “Black Label” series, has been used for a couple of weeks. Enough to determine what’s hot, and what’s not.
What’s Hot
* Good looks
* Compact size goes well with sleek suits and petite handbags
* Deep feature set
* The display really is scratch-proof
* HSDPA-capable
* Did we say it looks good?
* Responsive
What’s Not
* Lacks WiFi (but it’s the only feature lacking though)
* Camera doesn’t deserve the “5.0 megapixel” label
* One proprietary port for charger, headphones, and data cable (i.e., you can only do one thing with it at a time)
* 900 mAh battery = too little portable juice
* Chrome framing gets scratched easily
* Loves fingerprints
* Touch controls more gimmicky than useful
By loading lots of features into a very thin phone, LG has made the Secret value-packed at any price (check out Google Product Search). Yet we can only recommend this phone based on its beautiful exterior.

Saleen Aquada is a land and water transportation which is capable of reaching 40 mph. Aquada is intended to work as sports car on road and speedboat on water.
“Simply press a button and drive into the water. The wheels automatically rise and as you press the accelerator nearly a tonne of thrust pushes the Aquada onto the plane. The whole process takes less than 12 seconds. The Aquada can plane at over 30mph.”
Saleen will be working on design and engineering work required to bring the Gibbs Aquada and Quadski to the North American market. Gibbs is going to introduce the models in later 2009 or early 2010.
