LG recycles its KS360 as an Android phone
Oh Android , is there anything you can’t do? Open source software; multiplatform portability; healthy amateur developer community.. and now, ability to raise the dead.
Not dead people - that probably won’t be available until 2010 at the earliest - but dead phones? No problem. Back in July last year, LG launched the KS360 - a fairly ordinary smart-ish phone with a slidey-out keyboard and.. not much else. It was probably meant to be a competitor for the iPhone.
Oddly, this failed to set the mobile world alight and many considered the KS360 to have been consigned to the bottom drawer of history. Not so fast, though! LG has exhumed the KS360 and stuffed it full of Android goodness, ready for another crack at the champ.
The phone is largely unaltered since its debut - 2MP camera, touchscreen, slidey keyboard, etc. - but LG will be adding 3G to the mix.
LG have indicated that they plan to target the ‘Facebook’ end of the market, so this may end up being the budget Android offering that the Kogan Agora Pro never was.
