Both the LG Optimus One (as seen above) and Optimus Chic have surfaced yet again in a series of spy shots, and both of them will be powered by the Android operating system - although nothing important like a comprehensive specifications list, price or availability were made known to public. The LG Optimus One might be known as the P500 in certain circles, and we’re comforted to know that Android 2.2 Froyo comes bundled with it to keep up with the times. 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity will help you keep in touch with family and friends, while a 3-megapixel camera helps capture memories on the go - albeit this one lacks flash.

The first plan will cost $10 monthly with just 25MB of data use, while any overage will by pretty painful on your pockets at $0.20 per MB. As for the other plan, it is much more favorable for heavy data users despite its $30 monthly fee since the plan is supposedly ‘unlimited’ - but we await how Verizon describes that criteria.

Palm has decided to stop all webOS developer approvals after realizing that there was a virtual keyboard leak, marking the second time a keyboard was seen in webOS code. The latest leak that gave the game away was the parameter VirtualKeyboardEnabled=False, where changing the value to True could show just what Palm has up their sleeves down the road despite not invoking any reaction from a webOS-powered device at press time. Some people might speculate that this keyboard will make its mark on the mysterious webOS tablet alongside future smartphones if HP decides to go ahead.

Sharp will be showcasing a new cellphone at the IFA that will feature a glasses-free 3D phone that sports a camera that is capable of shooting 3D images too.
