LG to release more iPhone like phones
After Nokia’s unofficial announcement of the Tube 5800, LG Electronics said it will also try to challenge the iPhone by releasing new handsets with touch-screen user interface.
The South Korean firm, considered as the worlds number 5 handset maker, made the pronouncement after the success of its Prada KE850 handset, which has sometimes been described as an ‘iPhone clone’ even though it was announced two months before Apple’s product.
Earlier, LG Electronics has entered the touch-screen phone arena, which is dominated by Apple’s iPhone, with the launch of LG-KF510 also known as “Touch Lighting Phone”.
The “Touch Lighting Phone” is a 3-megapixel touch-screen phone that is 10.9 millimeters in width. The phone also adopts the “Interactive Touch Lighting’’ technology on the surface, enabling users to change images. The handset also features an “Auto Luminance Control’’ function in a full light-emitting diode touch-pad on the front to save energy.
The latest model made its first international debut at the “GSMA Mobile World Congress 2008’’ - formerly 3GSM World Congress - the mobile industry’s biggest event, that took place Feb. 11-24 in Barcelona, Spain. It is priced at $300 to $350.
