It was really only a matter of time, but instant streaming from Netflix is finally getting piped straight to the tele. Until now, users needed an HTPC or a set-top-box / movie player that supported Watch Instantly, but we’ve received word that LG will debut the world’s first Netflix-enabled HDTVs this Spring.

It’s sort of tough to say that Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700ds is not yet official, but if you’ve been scouring the intarwebz for a legitimate press release from the outfit, here’s your sign. The dual screen beast is at long last being confirmed by Lenovo, offering up workstation performance along with a 17-inch primary display and a 10-inch secondary slide-out panel.

Lenovo has announced today that its dapper young netbook will be getting an upgrade, starting with a modest boost in screen size — from 10-inches to 10.2-inches. In addition to this embarrassment of riches, the new IdeaPad S10 netbook will pack LenovoSocial, a suite for “social networking enthusiasts,” VeriFace facial recognition tech and a multi-touch trackpad.

Following a good half year of courtship while the regulatory miscellany ran its course, Verizon’s finally ready to take the plunge and call this $5.9 billion deal done. The combined juggernaut will amass a staggering 78 million subscribers, putting it roughly 3 million ahead of its closest rival, AT&T, though it’ll do so at the cost of assuming some $22.9 billion in Alltel debt.

Bear in mind that this could be complete rubbish, but unconfirmed reports from “trusted sources” have reportedly stated that Palm’s first Nova-based handset will tout a full QWERTY keyboard that slides down beneath a touchscreen (is your imagination running wild yet?). Moreover (and more importantly), the fresh operating system is being described as “amazing,” and we’re also told that “a ton” of software will be pre-loaded to provide multimedia playback as well as traditional functions such as calendar, email, and contacts.
