19 Jul 09 Tsera to Sue Everyone Who Used Its Touchpad?
We have a new trial for you and this time it involves Tsera which claims that it has invented the touchpad and hence everyone else using it will have to pay for the privilege. Tsera says that Apple, Microsoft, LG, Philips, Bang & Olufsen, iriver, Coby, Cowon and Meizu are all in violation of a patent owned by the company. The patent is called “Methods and apparatus for controlling a portable electronic device using a touchpad.” And nobody has paid any money to Tsera for using the technology. Given the big names involved in this huge trial we should expect Tsera to walk away with lots of settlements cash in its pocket.

17 Jul 09 LG GW620 to Run on Android?
LG hasn’t announced yet its first Android device but it looks like we might have a name for you. Apparently the GW620 Eve is LG’s first device ready to run on Android. Of course LG isn’t officially commenting on the matter so we’ll have to wait a while for it. Rumored specs of the Eve are an HVGA touchscreen display, a full-QWERTY keypad, WiFi, UMTS and WiFi connectivity and an Android browser. It’s this hint that ruined the surprise and made everyone realize that the Eve could be the first Android device available. Should we expect T-Mobile to just grab it and launch it soon?

16 Jul 09 LG Black Label BL42 pictured
It seems that hot on the heels of LG’s recently pictured BL40 is it’s brethren the BL42 slider. Pictured above is said handset which will also fall into LG’s Black Label series of devices.
Details haven’t been confirmed but reports say the device features a 240×320 resolution display, a 5MP display and a Java based operating system.
But honestly, who needs the BL42 when you can opt for the 4.1-inch touchscreen touting BL40? Well, maybe those on the budget assuming this phone is cheaper than the BL40. Either or, there was no mention of a price point or release date.
Despite the fact that the site isn’t in English, you can check out more pictures of the device, here.

16 Jul 09 LG’s Black Label BL40 caught in the wild
The video was cool, but these new pictures have us tingling all over again! The BL40 of LG’s Black Label series that we have been hearing about so much lately decided to pose for a few snaps which have now made their to a German forum and from whatever German we understand (whatever Google can Translate that is), the BL40 is still a touchscreen featurephone that sports a 5mpx lens, a gorgeous 4.1 inch touchscreen display with 21:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 800 x 345, WiFi, and microSD expansion. What we didn’t know was the Schneider Kreuznach make of the lens, FM transmitter, and almost 335MB of onboard storage. What’s more, there is another mysterious device in one of the pictures that looks to be another Black Label device, although smaller. Still, August looks a lot more nearer from this side of the month, so it won’t be long before LG comes out of the closet, right? Skip over for more pictures…

13 Jul 09 LG LX290 Available from Sprint
A new phone is available from Sprint. The LX290 from LG is ready for the limelight but will it make an impression? Well let’s see what it will offer us and then we’ll be ready to offer you an objective conclusion!
The LX290 will offer you a 1.3-megapixel camera with 2x digital zoom, Picture Messaging, a 2.5mm headset jack, NFL Mobile Live, GPS with Sprint Navigaton, a 1.33 x 1.77 inches QVGA TFT screen and a battery that’s going to offer you up to 6 hours of continuous talk time.
The verdict? It doesn’t look so good folks. The LG LX290 is guilty of not standing out from any crowd. You shouldn’t get it, especially as it’s probably too expensive at $29.99 after mail-in rebate on a 2-year contract from Sprint. You’d be better off with a refurbished $79 iPhone 3G. Objectively speaking, of course!

13 Jul 09 LG BL40 gets a promo video
You know, we could have waited till August to feast our eyes on the Chocolate successor, and if LG had been able to keep this promotional video under wraps for just a few more days, they could have had the grand opening that they had planned for. The authenticity of the above video is debatable, but the video itself looks professional enough and confirms many of the features that we heard about a while back and more. According to the promo, the BL40, the fourth cellphone in LG’s Black Label series, will have a huge 4-inch (not 3 inches like we heard the last time) touchscreen display that is not only capable of 800×345 pixel resolution and a 21:9 aspect ratio, but can do multi-touch too. Other rumored features like a 5-megapixel camera, HSDPA 7.2Mbps support, and WiFi are all accounted for and the Flash-based 3D interface looks like a joy to touch through. A worthy iPhone competitor or not, the BL40 sure looks like a great heir to the ever popular LG Chocolate. Watch the video above and tell us if you think the same too!

02 Jul 09 LG Going for Second Place in the Mobile Business
LG is holding the third spot after Nokia and Samsung when it comes to market share but the manufacturer has big plans for the future. By 2012 LG plans to get that second spot currently held by Samsung. It’s going to be a fierce fight since Samsung is a force to be reckoned with in the mobile business.
In order to accomplish its plans, LG will launch a “Black Label” phone before the end of the year meant to compete against the iPhone. LG is also working on the third version of the Prada III and other smartphones are expected too. Windows Mobile and Android will be the chosen OS for these future smartphones so we’re definitely interested to see LG’s future line up.
What do you think? Will LG be able to conquer that sweet second spot position?

01 Jul 09 Nokia to Launch 12-Megapixel Camera Phone
The most important cell phone makers out there have already announced 12-megapixel camera phones or are on the verge of doing so. We already know that Samsung, LG or Sony Ericsson will offer their customers a 12-megapixel shooter and Nokia will not want to miss any of that action.
The Finnish company will launch a 12-megapixel camera phone by the end of the year. There’s no official news from Nokia about the new phone but the rumors say it will feature a Carl Zeiss lens capable of optical zoom. That optical zoom will definitely convince some people to pick this 12-megapixel camera phone over that the competition has to offer.

29 Jun 09 Micro-USB Charging Standard Coming to Europe?
There’s good news for everyone charging their phones in Europe. It looks like there’s a phone charging standard coming to all those European handset owners. The European Commission has received today confirmation for that micro-USB charging socket from the most important names in the mobile business. Nokia, Sony, Ericsson, Motorola, Apple, LG, NEC, Qualcomm, RIM, Samsung and Texas Instruments are all going to play ball and we should expect them to launch devices ready to be charged via a micro-USB charger sometime next year. On the long run the micro-UBS standard could be adopted by other markets too since CTIA, OMTP and the GSM Association also support it. Can’t wait for the day when I won’t hate myself for forgetting a certain phone charger! What are your thoughts on this?

23 Jun 09 FCC Approves EVDO/LTE Device from LG
LG is taking LTE seriously. We’ve shown you an LG LTE modem a while ago and now we hear that the FCC has just approved the M13 which is a “cellular/PCS CDMA/EVDO and 700MHz LTE Device”.
What is this device exactly? Is it a phone? Is it a modem? Whatever it is, it’s going to work with current 3G CDMA networks and with future 4G LTE networks which should be available starting next year. The device will be perfect for both Verizon and Sprint and we should assume that they will probably announce it sometime in the future.
One thing is clear though, we should expect more 3G/4G hybrid devices to arrive soon as LTE and WiMAX networks are going to be available to the public in the near future.
