Last week, an LG Xenia (Xenia = X, X110 or X120) had been recently mentioned as a candidate for one of the netbooks/ultraportables that AT&T was considering offering through their stores (along with data plans/contracts). This week at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) LGE has began talking about specific details of the sequel to their LG X110.

The major differences over the X110 – it’s got a “Smart-On” system, which is another type of “Instant-On” functionality. The X120 is also going to be geared towards mobile broadband carriers.

Smart-Link allows you to use a USB cable to copy data from another machine to the X120. The press release mentions that you can use Smart-Link to transfer files from another computer’s CD or DVD drive.
