Photo courtesy Spoonk Space . Two years ago, funny-looking mats started appearing in the windows of all the health food stores in Europe. The mats were in mellow new-age colors – sunburst orange, Mediterranean turquoise – and they were covered with tiny plastic spikes. Not imagining any good use for a plastic mat covered with sharp spikes, I ignored the advertising. But then, green-minded friends started talking about these mats, and what a wonderful stress releaser they were. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Yikes. We just finished getting our fingerprints all over LG’s Optimus Pad (aka the G-Slate ), and now we’re thinking we should have been wearing white gloves while doing so. The tablet is coming in March to the US, but we didn’t know a price. Now we do — in Germany, at least, and get ready to wince: €999. That’s about $1,350 if you do a straight conversion, out-classing even the Xoom ‘s eye-wateringly high $1,199 pre-order price , which we’re still holding out hope is a misprint. Maybe the golden goo in Honeycomb really is gold. Update : Roland wrote in to remind us that German prices include a 19 percent VAT, which would drop this price down to a mere $1,075 if you’re into the conversion game. Well within pocket change territory. [Thanks, Enzo] LG Optimus Pad priced at €999 in Germany originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 14 Feb 2011 07:26:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds .

We just got a first hands-on with the Huawei S7 , a 7-inch Android tablet which will be priced at $300. Huwaei was unable to provide us with any information beyond pricing, but here’s what we’ve gathered. The 7-inch touch screen is capacitive, and the unit we played with was running a slightly customized skin on top of Android 2.2 (FroYo). Build quality is solid and the device is satisfyingly thin an light. There are cameras front and back and a microSD card slot and a docking port on the bottom edge. We spied a SIM slot underneath the battery, so it’s likely that the model we used features 3G. We hope to have more details for you soon — in the meantime, feast your eyes on the gallery below.
