LG Escape for US AT&T press photo and specs leak

The LG Escape just made its first public appearance via a tweet, which shares not only this press shot, but also some of the key specs of the device.

The LG Escape (model name P870 and codename Kun) is meant for the US carrier AT&T and will make good use of the carrier's quickly developing LTE network.

As regards the other specs, the LG Escape supposedly packs a 4.3-inch IPS LCD screen with qHD resoolution, a 1.2Ghz dual-core chipset, a duo of a 5MP back camera and a 1.3MP front camera, NFC connectivity and a 2150mAh battery. The smartphone makes use of Android Ice Cream Sandwich as its OS of choice.

So far nothing surprising. In fact, we found quite a lot of similarities to the recently announced international LG Optimus L9, which we had a chance to meet in first person at this year's IFA. You will decide for yourselves, but the resemblance is uncanny.

Impossible iPhone 5 concept we all want, ‘Rubberband Electronics’

"Rubberband Electronics" are this year's must-have (but undeniably impossible) dream feature of the upcoming iPhone.

In mere days, Apple will reveal the long-awaited iPhone 5 and put a stop to the endlessly entertaining guesswork leading up to its launch. So far we’ve had the obvious predictions like a bigger screen, longer battery life, and support for LTE. There’s also been talk of the iPhone losing its number system altogether. Similar to the new iPad, it would make sense for the next Apple smartphone to simply be named the new iPhone.

But this video by Aatma Studio shows us what the Cupertino company could do if it really wanted to push the limits of technology (and space and time). It imagines what would happen if Apple were able to thwart the basic rules of physics and uncover the hidden secrets of magic realism. The mock-up video (via AllThingsD) includes some admittedly awesome features that could potentially be built into the next iPhone like wireless charging (if Nokia can do it…), fingerprint scanning worthy of the CIA, and a Siri message center that would actually be useful. Around the minute mark, however, the video drops all pretence of being rooted in reality and teases us with a feature that would single handedly put Apple at the forefront of mobile devices forever. We won’t spoil it for you, but we will tell you it’s called “Rubberband Electronics” and it will never, ever happen. Never. 

If you need to be comforted after seeing your dreams crushed, we’ve made a list that tackles some more realistic features Apple should introduce in the next iPhone to stay relevant and competitive in the marketplace. And, more importantly, to make the world want to spend some hard-eraned cash on it.
