If you’re really looking for candor, we’d even go so far as to say that the “energy-efficient ULV processor” and “integrated optical drive” has us all sorts of hot and bothered, but the inability to actually see a full build sheet or order a unit for ourselves is simply disheartening

Gadget news about LG BL40 passes FCC again, this time with US 3G very much enabled – LG mentioned to us yesterday that there aren’t any US plans in the cards for its lovely BL40 New Chocolate — at least, none that it wants to talk about, even though we’ve got to believe Verizon’s cooking up some plans — but meanwhile there’s still action on the North American front. A new variant of the BL40 dubbed BL40G (“G” for “gonna be awesome,” obviously) has hit the FCC with HSPA enabled on the 850 and 1900MHz bands. You might recall that those bands were disabled on the last version the FCC checked out , so if anything, this might be the version that Canada’s Telus is signed up for to help it kick off its upcoming HSPA network launch.

Gadget news about ViewSonic’s VOT120 and VOT121 nettops suck in their guts for the camera – Unsatisfied with only having the tall and slim 130 and 132 nettops, ViewSonic’s newly announced family of hardware also features a pair of even more diminutive options: the VOT120 and 121. Snapped in the wild for your delectation, these machines are small enough to be confused for a well-filled CD wallet and come with WiFi, four USB inputs, gigabit Ethernet and DVI-out. While the 120’s standard netbook spec is nothing to write home about, the 121 does receive a (comparatively) potent 1.4GHz CULV chip and a HDMI output ’round back, making for an intriguing HTPC proposition
