Apple Computer made headlines with its recent release of iPhone. Now LG intends to take some of the attention away...
Yesterday, LG Electronics (Korea), along with world-renowned fashion label, Prada, announced a new mobile phone, which sports a buttonless, touch-screen interface very much like that of Apple's iPhone.
The LG Prada Phone, alias the KE850, features a no-button interface with the entire phone face covered by a touch-sensitive screen.
Like the iPhone, this phone too, is super-thin; it's just 12 millimetres thick, which is only about 0.4 millimetres thicker than the iPhone.
Also like the iPhone, the LG Prada Phone can play most popular digital music/video formats, and has a two mega pixels camera.
However, unlike the iPhone, the LG phone's memory can be expanded with the help of cards.
Other features of this new phone include: MP3 player, video player, document viewer, music/messaging multitasking capability, Bluetooth, and USB 2.0 port.
Besides, the phone will ship with accessories and a leather case, all jointly designed by LG and Prada.
The LG Prada Phone will likely hit mobile phone dealers and Prada stores in Britain, France, Germany, and Italy in late Feb. The phone will be priced at approximately $780 (Rs 35,100). In Asia, it will be available sometime in March this year.
Meanwhile, Apple's iPhone will release in the US in June, and will carry a price tag of around $599 (Rs 26,955). The iPhone will launch in other markets later this year as well as in 2008.
