This morning LG announced the Optimus Z handset in Korea and they've also announced an Android-based tablet that will be a part of the Optimus Series as well. This tablet will be launching in Q4 of this year (presumably with version 3.0 "Gingerbread") but there's no word if that will be the Korea-only launch. We'll have to wait for a bit more information over the next couple of months.

If you're interested then you can now pre-order the Nokia N8 smartphone if you live in Italy. It's up on Nokia's official website but it actually won't be shipping until September. The smartphone is powered by Symbian^3 and is up for €469 ($609 USD) if you want to pick one up. It's a bit more expensive than first though but don't forget that the N8 packs a 3.5-inch nHD touchscreen display along with a 12MP camera on the back.

Update: Unwired View has pointed out that a bunch of other European countries can now pre-order the Nokia N8. France can now pre-order it for €459 ($601 USD), Germany for €479 ($627 USD), and even Poland for 1,999 PLN (€502 and $657 USD).
