Will the KC910 turn out to be LG’s first Android phone?
Tomorrow is the big announcement for the HTC Dream, but HTC is not the only handset manufacturer trying to capitalize on the Android craze. Boy Genius has a couple of pictures of the KC910 (aka LG Renoir), which boasts an 8 megapixel camera in 14 mm frame, along with smile and blink detection, digital image stabilisation and more. But more interesting are rumours that the LG KC910 will run on Android, even if the pics seem to show the normal LG proprietary operating system.

T-Mobile’s maps add 3G coverage
T-Mobile has you covered – as least when you’re living in Illinois and desperate for some 3G coverage. T-Mobile is finally showing their 3G coverage on a map (in dark green). We’re betting that T-Mobile’s G1 announcement tomorrow was the main reason for this last minute update. We’ll probably hear more about the network update tomorrow, when things kick off at 10:30PM in New York. If you’re in the US head over to T-Mobile’s coverage map, but make sure you tick the ‘data coverage’ option at the bottom of the page before check your favourite location on the map.
