The Motorola Droid 4 hasn’t been announced by Verizon Wireless just yet, but credible rumors/leaks point to a January release. That probably means the device will be unveiled at CES 2012 in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks – if so, we’ll be there to cover it. In the meantime, the folks at TechnoBuffalo managed to get their hands on a Droid 4 demo unit. It’s a non-functioning display unit, but it gives us an idea of what to expect from an aesthetic perspective. It almost looks like a thicker combination of the Droid Bionic and Droid RAZR. The highlight, of course, is the 5-row slide-out QWERTY keyboard, which looks like it may be the best one yet for any Droid. Check out the rest of the preliminary specifications below.

Droid 4 Specs:
– 1.2GHz dual-core processor
– 1GB of RAM
– 4-inch qHD screen
– 16GB of built-in storage
– microSD expansion
– 8-megapixel camera with 1080p video capture
– HD Front-facing camera
– HDMI-out
– 1785 mAh battery
– 4G LTE
– Android 2.3

If you’ve been enjoying the 720p screen on AT&T’s LG Nitro HD, savor the experience – it may become rare in just a little while. At LG’s primary LCD factory in Nanjing, China, a labor strike involving 8000 workers is threatening to bring the company’s screen manufacturing plans to a grinding halt. That spells trouble for a lot of Android phone and tablet manufacturers, chief among them being (naturally) LG.

The workers tried to reach an amicable compromise today, but the negotiations ended in failure, and at present there’s no end in sight. They’re demanding better pay, equitable to what employees in LG’s native South Korea get, as well as year-end benefits. The strike has been going on since Monday, with irate employees breaking glass and a decorative Christmas tree outside the factory offices. LG is the second-largest manufacturer of LCD panels in the world, supplying internals for dozens of electronics manufacturers who don’t produce their own screens. More comprehensive companies, like Sony, Sharp and Samsung, shouldn’t be affected.

LG’s home office assured The Korea Herald that its operations wouldn’t be drastically affected, as other factories can modify their production lines to fill the missing demand. LG is one of three suppliers rumored to be producing panels for the iPad 3, so any interruption of service could give their competitors a major advantage. If the strike continues for a considerable period, supplies of existing phones from LG and its partners could dry up, and future models may have to make due with lower-resolution displays that have already been manufactured.

Even for a Stones Throw release, Jonti Danilewitz’s debut is ‘out there’. A kaleidoscopic, intensely psychedelic melange of crunching beats, pop melodies, sweet vocal harmonies and jarring electronic noise, it’s unlike anything else you’re likely to hear.

Highlights are plentiful on a startlingly original album: the insidious groove of ‘Frightened Mice (Dots)’; the shimmering synth hooks of ‘Nightshift In Blue’; the fleeting, majestic slices of oddball pop that are ‘Firework Spraying Moon’ and ‘Cyclic Love’. In short, Danilewitz is not a man short on ideas. Indeed, if there’s a criticism, it’s that there’s too much going on: never does a single idea suffice when an abrupt change of direction or the introduction of some jolting, unexpected element will do instead.

Such is the sheer weirdness of Twirligig that its brief, 32-minute running time is probably a blessing. A truly audacious opening salvo from a producer basically operating in a field of one, it might nonetheless leave you needing a quiet lie down. In a good way. Neill Dougan

As psych-pop six-piece A Classic Education’s first full-length album, Call It Blazing, chirps modestly into life, its authenticity is almost palpable. The effervescent blend of Sixties pop and modern surf-inspired indie boasts a uniqueness rarely found within the genre, and feels relaxed and perfectly natural. Elements of James Mercer’s work with The Shins can be heard in Jonathan Clancy’s wonderfully understated vocals, whilst components like the delightfully sweet violin around the closing phrases of ‘Gone To Sea’ and the snare that patters through the dreamy garage gem ‘Billy’s Gang Dream’ compliment the jangly, Americana-tinted feel of the album immaculately.
