LG announced their Android Phone,LG-GW620. It has a QWERTY keyboard. By my frist impression, it looks very similar Motorola Dext. Moreover, from the photo is released by LG, it does not sounds like to have a custom UI. I guess the expirenced with HTC Magic. But, I think we need to wait for the further specifications for the final conclusion.

During weekend, I got the update of linux-image-2.6.28-15. Then my HP Mini 1001 Speakers got sound now! Previously, I can't get my speakers working on Ubuntu Remix 9.04. This is the power of Opensource Communities. They can fix bugs quickly.

One last point, please remember to mute the headphone and unmute front speakers from the mixer. I can't get it on the first boot from the update, because the front spearkers are muted by default.

I found the applications bar in my Yahoo! Mail is changed. Some applications are added:
- Attach Large Files, previously it used ZumoDrive for sending large file. Now, they changed provider to drop.io. The old application from Zumo Drive changed its name to "My Drive".
- Add an Automatic Organizer, it can automatic categorize your emails into folders.
- A new application for Flickr is added.
- Two electronic invitation applications, Evite and Pnigg Invitations, are added.
