Apple prepping for October 20th media event focusing on Mac OS

Apple has sent out invites to a "media event" set for October 20th. The most interesting thing about the invitation is the slogan "Back to Mac," as well as a sneak-peek at what looks to be a Lion, signifying the possible introduction of OS X 10.7 probably codenamed Lion. We're hoping that some new Macs will be announced at this event, hopefully a cheaper, smaller MacBook Air which hasn't seen an update for over a year.

Above is a leaked image of the supposed revision to the 13-inch MacBook Air which will be using a new type of SSD memory that's more like RAM than a notebook hard drive. More importantly, there are speculations of a new, 11-inch subnotebook sized MacBook Air that will be significantly cheaper than the 13-inch variant. What's more, the above prototype (which is dated back to April) shows 4 battery packs although it is quite possible that this, as well as the Core 2 Duo Intel processor will be replaced upon launch. We hope its true, we think a modestly priced subnotebook Mac in the 10-12' inch screen category will be a runaway success.

Video: Hands on with the LG Quantum and LG Optimus Windows Phones

We spent time with LG Spokesperson and Sr. Manager, Corporate Marketing. Frank Lee who gaves us a walkthrough of the LG Quantum and the LG Optimus and their features.

Our initial impressions on the LG smartphones was that they were solid, well-designed premium phones that ran the new OS fluidly. The live-tiles feature of Windows, which receives updated information from social media services, contacts and news seems to work incredibly well since it enables quick access to information without the need to launch apps. Lee shows us some LG specific features such as panoramic stitching and augmented reality location features built into their phones.
