This is perhaps the best way to sum up the new batch of mobile phones that LG Electronics has in store for all the mobile phone addicts. According to the LG 2010 Q1 roadmap, the company is set to unveil phones that come with names somewhat similar to their celebrated LG Chocolate. Among the new phones set to be released include:

• LG Wine2
• LG Wine Junior
• LG Stage
• LG Mini
• LG Goya
• LG Sweet
• LG Cookie2
• LG GX200

Some may be sequels such as the LG Wine2, LG Wine Junior, LG Sweet and the LG Cookie2 which may showcase a new design or better camera. The LG Stage looks like it will pick up from the LG Arena. The rest seem to be new phones to be set out in the market, referring to the LG Goya and LG Mini. Finally, the LG GX200 is a 2 SIM card handybar which may be simple and cheap for the mobile market.

Hopefully we can get more features in the coming months.

Dell Inc., a familiar brand name in the world of personal computing has been rumored to join the mobile phone industry soon. At the moment, Dell has reportedly instructed its engineers to work on several prototypes based on mobile software from Google and Microsoft.

If reports are accurate, it seems that Dell is trying to conceptualize a phone similar to the touch screen iPhone. It will be recalled the Dell planned to unveil a digital music player that could connect wirelessly to the Internet last summer but was later on scrapped. That could also happen to this new mobile phone plan.

Dell’s possible entry into the mobile device market comes as it continues to lose PC market share.

Make room for one more player in the mobile market. The new player is Intel which promises to unveil a new class of “Mobile Internet Services”. The chips are going to be based on a Linux software called “Moblin 2″ which will be in developers’ hands by March.

The move is seen as something risky for Intel and while many know how Intel takes pride in its business, it has to be better than the Iphone, Palm and the Google phones.

It is possible that Intel is planning to release a cut price smart phone which will knock the wind out of more expensive models which are only cheap due to supply deals.

Hyundai seems to be on a tear these days. After having some key moments in the automotive industry, it looks like they are about to invade the mobile phone market as well. And considering that they have gained the tag of being reasonably priced, this alone provides them a glimpse of possibly penetrating the mobile phone market by the end of spring.

If reports are accurate, they are targeting all competing brands and models in the mobile market, including the iPod and the iPhone. This and a lot more are in their list of corporate goals and Hyundai may just be the new kid on the block playing along with the big boys of the mobile solutions industry.

At present, Hyundai has some eight models currently available in Europe and plans to have another 10 to 15 available during the course of 2009. The hope is that can become a serious contender for a market share in the highly lucrative mobile communications business which is currently dominated by the likes of Sony Ericsson and Nokia.
